So, this song was on NPR the other night and I'd like to believe that it's upbeat bopping kept me alert and at the same time soothed my nerves while I drove through the horrible blizzard that hit the Midwest. Okay, I'm a chicken when it comes to snow. What of it? My little car was not made for inclement weather. Scratch that. I wasn't made for inclement weather. I'd rather sit on my couch with my coffee and a book (or my cousin's Netflix, which I occasionally mooch to rewatch episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer). But if I have to be out driving, I'll listen to stuff like Little Talks by Of Men and Monsters because it's perky enough to keep me from falling asleep but not so upbeat that it makes me start involuntarily tapping my feet (which I need to be in ready-position for possible break-pumping). If any of this is not making sense you can blame the fact that I stayed up late last night watching new series of BBC's Sherlock. Holmes + Watson = best bromance ever. That is all. Here's Little Talks.
"Little Talks" - Of Monsters and Men
Hey! Hey! Hey!
I don't like walking around this old and empty house
So hold my hand, I'll walk with you my dear
The stairs creak as I sleep, it's keeping me awake
It's the house telling you to close your eyes
Some days I can't even trust myself
It's killing me to see you this way
'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry
Our bodies safe to shore
Hey! Hey! Hey!
There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back
I tell her that I miss our little talks
Soon it will all be over, buried with our past
You used to play outside when you were young,
Full of life and full of love
Some days I feel like I am wrong and I am right
Your mind is playing tricks on you my dear
'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry
Our bodies safe to shore
Hey!
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same
Hey!
'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry
Our bodies safe to shore
Go go go away
I wish you'd disappear
All that's left is a ghost of you
Now we're torn torn torn apart, there's nothing we can do
Just let me go, me against you
Now wait wait wait for me
Please hang around
I see you when I fall asleep
Hey!
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same
Hey!
'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry
Our bodies safe to shore
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same
Hey!
'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry
Our bodies safe to shore
'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry
Our bodies safe to shore
'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry
Our bodies safe to shore
