"Jejune Stars" lyrics
"Jejune Stars"
Every new day is a gift, it's a song of redemption
Any expression of love is the way to return
To that place that I think of so often, but now never mention
The one the voice in the back of my head says that I don't deserve
Come fire, come water, come karma
We're all in transition
The wheel I'm becoming erases the physical mind
Until all that remains is a staircase of misinformation
And the code we inherit, the basis, the essence of life
So I go, umbrella under my arm
Into the green of the radar
How'd it get so dark in the day?
It's just so bizarre
Is it true what we're made of?
Why do I hide from the rain?
Inside's so cloudy, nostalgia
But there are no features
Look at ourselves through a porthole
The passage of time
See that sunny day that we snuck out, hid under the bleachers
Kissed as the band marched
Everything fell into line
So I go, umbrella under my arm
Into the green of the radar
How'd I get so lost? I'm amazed
It's just so bizarre
All the things I'm afraid of
Why do I hide from the rain?
Sure I have my doubts
But I know it now
We are Jejune stars
So it starts again
At our childhood's end
I'll die young at heart
So I go, umbrella under my arm
Into the green of the radar
How'd it get so dark in the day?
It's just so bizarre
If it's true what we're made of
Why do I hide from the rain?

Elliott Smith - "Waltz #2 (XO)" First the mic, then a half cigarette

Cloud Cult - "No One Said It Would Be Easy" You came up from the ground
From a million little pieces

The Decemberists - "Make You Better" I want you, thin fingers
I wanted you, thin fingernails
And when you bend backwards

Rilo Kiley - "Jenny, You're Barely Alive" And it's all the treasures
That shine in the street
As we drive right over them
And it's all the mornings
We miss for sleep
As the sun glides over our apartment
