lyrics
Long Island, you don't have a hold on me
When I get older, I will live out in the country
I'll drive down open roads for as far as they will take me
And I swear I'll never breathe your air again
New York, I love you but what the fuck?
For all the good, there is ten times even more bad luck
I watched as seasons changed again and again but I never did
I just got more bitter and a little taller
I wish that autumn I spent with you had lasted til the spring
Good morning, future! won't you rise and shine
And let your guard down for a second so I can see forward in time
Yeah, I've always been the kind of kid that skips to the last page
I just wanna know what's gonna happen next
Dear Mom and Dad, are you still proud of me?
Did I turn out even close to the way you'd always hoped I'd be?
I know that, over time, we'll both have our fair share of letdowns
But I'll be damned if I end up as one of yours
I swear this time I'll get it right even if, even if it kills me
I'm scared that I'll make the same mistakes
And I'm scared that I'm gonna waste away
In tired suburbs where all the houses look the same
And now my adolescence is all dried up
Reduced to old, discolored photographs and ticket stubs
I wish I could have it all for just one more day
I wish that autumn I spent with you had lasted til the spring
I swear this time I'll get it right even if, even if it kills me
I wish that autumn I spent with you had lasted til the spring
I wish I never wasted all the time I had with you.

A string quartet and a drum set. This is everything I've ever wanted to hear in a band and I can assure you, it's the most fun you'll ever have listening to a record. These dudes are top. Brian Kenney
