Testo di ' Flannel (Spoken Word) ' di The Cardboard Swords

You said that I should get a clue
Well I did, I did, I did, I did
And it was to rid my heart of you
So I did, I did, I did, I did
Exactly what you said I should do
I played the sleuth and I found a clue
And I still can't stop thinking about you

That standard procedure
You know, you know, you know me
So fuck with my heart at your leisure
That's how it goes, it's been going lately
Said I was the best simultaneously the worst
And best case scenario, I should be cursed
For the rest of my life, for the rest of my life
Well, I feel like I am cause I will never have you by my side

So stay warm in that flannel
That I left on your bed
There was no way in hell I could put it on after that
Cause we were both soaking wet
And I apologize if from time to time
This makes you think of me
Just imagine seeing that stupid shirt
Every time you fucking breathe
That's how it feels to be me

Your heart has proven to be more of a maze
Than construction season in the heritage hill one ways
From someone who is not from grand rapids on their very first days
But me, I paid attention on my late night skates
And when I was driving around in my van
And now my best friend who has lived here his whole life
Said I know the city better than him
He said: Ty, its like the back of your hand
I said: Alek I’d trade it in a heartbeat for the backbone of a man
I had to change my way home from work because I couldn’t even stand
To drive by her and see her on her front lawn, bikini on, getting a tan
Here’s the thing, I don’t need fountain or union street
For anything except martha’s vineyard or the bakery
I’ll take the back of the michigan hill down, eastern around
And follow lyon all the way there because this is what I have found
Life may or may not be about finding true love
But it is certainly not about begging for it from someone
I’ll keep doing the things that I do, late nights, fat blunts, pizza pies with my crew
Driving home from whatever bar is half-off after two
While blasting my favorite tunes, and seeing my favorite local bands
At whatever venue
While you keep doing the things that you do
Like shifting blame, twisting truth
And making absolutely positively certain that everyone in the room
Knows the victim just had to be you

I'll keep doing the things that I do
And I'll find someone who wants me like I wanted you
So sing along at a show this weekend
Act a fool, get drunk with these friends, that you love
Someone somewhere said all good things end
So what in my mind made me think this time would be different
