Fall Of ’82 - The Shins

I do relate to you in so many ways

But I didn’t go through what you must have in those early days

You had to be strong at such a very young age

A new life from lemonade

So won’t you listen to me now

There’s something I never told you

And I’m about to try

See you were my lifeline when the world was exploding

You moved back in with us in the fall of ’82

I fell into dark times and you were there to help me through

You told me that a downturn would eventually improve

And you were right, so I’m thanking you

So won’t you listen to me now

There’s something I never told you

And I’m about to try

See you were my lifeline when the world was exploding

Footholds eroding

Had you never been my friend

I wouldn’t be quite what you

I wouldn’t be the man I am

Sister you’ve known me

Lost in a strange world

What has it shown me

What has it gone through

Sister you’ve known me

Been lost in a strange world

But has it shown me

What has it gone through

October chill in that old dusty town

Halloween came, I was still feeling down

Mama, lost my sweet tooth, what’s the point in going ’round?

Your boy is losing count

Maybe try the lost and found
