about

recorded in the mary street basement. all i really remember was that it was a particularity cold night that night and my walk home through town. i wrote it while i walked, doing so to distract myself from the cold. it was done when i got home and i immediately turned on the four tracker and this is what happened...

lyrics

takin' the long way home again
main street supper time
a'walkin' through the lines
bright lights shine on
diner's full of twos
but it's not me and you
two straws one mountain dew
no, it's not me and you
i press my face to the glass
someone screams, so pass on
to where, well, i don't know
there's only one place i just don't wanna go
bad dreams, fucked up memories
by myself nothing is as it seems
no one hears me scream
when i'm with the trees no one sees
a place i never wanted to be
left field, locked out, lonely
with nothing left to win
no, nothing left to win
i guess, uh huh
i'll take the long way home, i guess
i'll take the long way home again
