It Was My Season [Minneapolis, 2013] Songtext
von Okkervil River

Tell me a reason
To break things off
Stop the bleeding
When it′s my season
Mind was just rewing
Your eyes they went hard
Our parents were freaking
But it was our season
All that time ago

If you want to stop our thing you'll stop my heart
All this pain inside′s still just too sharp
What was I thinking


Step out of your trailer
And into this dark
It's warm and it's breathing
And it′s our season
Your dad is half sleeping
But really he′s gone
Can you hear his VCR weeping
They crossed his wires completely
When they made him fire that gun

I'll say to you: to cut it off′s to cut me down
If they take me out of school, you out of town
I called a friend, my world at end, my words unwound
I said
We're dumb, we′re dead, shut up about it now


I won't say I′m sorry
And how would they know
Below the Atari
Well, I could feel your heart was just going
We'll meet on the weekend
Your dad won't be home
Your sister′s out cleaning
You don′t need to speak it
Because I know, baby, I know
I said I know
You know I know
I know that it was our season
Baby, I know it's hard to believe it
I said I know there isn′t a reason
You know I know it's only a feeling

When I look back on it now
Remember mixed up I got
Before they got me sorted out
All that heart-in-my-mouth
All that head-filled-with-doubt
It′s fading out
I hardly think about it now

They say that I'll go to college
And you will stay home
And watch while I′m leaving
The cold will just creep in
Oh, Jason, I know
