about

Written entirely by Drew one afternoon after listening to a lot of Bob Mould, and it immediately became one of our favorites (as well as our best original song). It sounds great both in this loud, driving interpretation as well as on a 12-string (as it was written on an acoustic, rooted on the very Mould-ish G5/Em/C5 chord pattern). Drew's one gripe with this song is that we never could nail the mix; he remembers umpteen mix candidates all rejected for various issues, and he thinks we ended up with the final mix just by default. It really could do with a remix, but alas... In this mastering, he tried his damnedest to smooth out some of the really horrible EQ and muddiness the final had, and it's a lot better, but not ideal.

lyrics

I can see that you're alone
I don't feel like this is home
I don't really want to stay
I just don't know what to say

(chorus)
Here we were and here we stood
A vision of our lives done good
A future that we'll never see
Divided by eternity
Here we are and here we come
And if we let it come undone
A future that we'll never know
Our hopes they come, our hopes they come and go

Why must it end up this way?
These things I've tried to keep at bay
It's not, it's not that I don't care
I just feel we're getting nowhere

Chorus x2

I can see that you're alone
Waiting by the telephone
You, you know that I won't call
I think we've known it all along

Chorus
