lyrics

Go tell spring all your plans put on make up throw on pants
find a different way to mess with your hair
He tuned you out like a string that he could strum to make you think
he was happiest when you were a pair
and there's a dark room that you can't wait to be in but I think you're already there

And if the boy needs time to stay at home and make up his mind there are a lot of things you have left to do, but don't wait for him to love you
The kid needs space to figure out just where you place, there are a lot of things you have left to do, but don't wait for him to love you. Don't wait for him to love you

You can't swim with all your clothes they'll weigh you down everyone knows so you took them off and dove right in head first
and now your heart's broken down in the shady part of town but have faith you'll get back on the road somehow
and there's a dark room that you can't wait to be in but I think you're already there

And if the boy needs time to stay at home and make up his mind there are a lot of things you have left to do, but don't wait for him to love you
The kid needs space to figure out just where you place, there are a lot of things you have left to do, but don't wait for him to love you. Don't wait for him to love you

and there's a dark room that you can't wait to be in but I think you're already there

And if the boy needs time to stay at home and make up his mind there are a lot of things you have left to do, but don't wait for him to love you
The kid needs space to figure out just where you place, there are a lot of things you have left to do, but don't wait for him to love you. Don't wait for him to love you

This, along with the Every Time.... album, was spinning non-stop in my home a couple of years ago. I still come back to it regularly, and I love it dearly. Also, Valentine's Day is one of the best burns I've heard. Absolutely epic. newt

Dear Wormwood

it's such a beautiful album of grieving and loss and acceptance. it speaks to a particular kind of grief -- not a grieving of one who is lost, but the grieving for one who is still present and still causing pain. i love the last song most because while it could end in pain, or end with the narrators decision to permanently push this person out of their life and that would be justified, it doesn't. instead, it offers something. what is offered? acceptance. hope. and a chance for redemption janmisha
