"Twin Falls" lyrics

"Twin Falls"
(originally by Built To Spill)

Christmas; Twin Falls, Idaho's her oldest memory
She was only two, it's the first time she felt blue

Cafeteria, Harrison Elementary
Beneath the parachute, I saw her without shoes

7-Up, I touched her thumb and she knew it was me
Although she couldn't see, unless, of course, she peeked

My mom's good, she got me out of Twin Falls, Idaho
Before I got too old, you know how that goes

That's where she still was the summer she turned 17
1983, three weeks after me

So last I heard, she had twins or maybe it was three
And though I'll never see, that don't bother me
