lyrics
God bless the daylight, the sugary smell of springtime
Remembering when you were mine in a still suburban town
When every Thursday I'd brave those mountain passes and you'd skip your early classes
And we'd learn how our bodies worked
God damn the black night with all its foul temptation
I've become what I always hated when I was with you then
We looked like giants in the back of my gray subcompact
Fumbling to make contact as the others slept inside
And together there in a shroud of frost, the mountain air began to pass from every pane of weathered glass and I held you closer than anyone would ever get
Do you remember the J.A.M.C. and reading aloud from magazines?
I don't know about you, but I swear on my name they could smell it on me
And I've never been too good with secrets.
Remembering when you were mine in a still suburban town
When every Thursday I'd brave those mountain passes and you'd skip your early classes
And we'd learn how our bodies worked
God damn the black night with all its foul temptation
I've become what I always hated when I was with you then
We looked like giants in the back of my gray subcompact
Fumbling to make contact as the others slept inside
And together there in a shroud of frost, the mountain air began to pass from every pane of weathered glass and I held you closer than anyone would ever get
Do you remember the J.A.M.C. and reading aloud from magazines?
I don't know about you, but I swear on my name they could smell it on me
And I've never been too good with secrets.
