the weather station - thirty lyrics

there was a time
when you put your hand on the small of my back
i was surprised that you touched me like that

but there in your hand was a current of life
i could hardly stand
i stayed still
and i didn’t mention it
or if i did, i made some joke of it
it was strange how i could feel so sane
so plain when you’re around

and unbidden to me
there it rose, the fantasy
colored rose and easy
yeah, i could see it so simple, unsubtle
impossible, clearly
and strange
far and as close as a mountain range
on the horizon driving all day
there i was, so sane

so plain after everything

gas came down
from a buck-twenty
the joke was how
it broke the economy anyhow
the dollar was down
but my friends opened businesses
there were new children
and again, i didn’t get married
i wasn’t close to my family
and my dad was raising a child in nairobi
she was three now, he told me
nyhow
the dollar was down
but my friends opened businesses
there were new children
and again, i didn’t get married
i wasn’t close to my family
and my dad was raising a child in nairobi
she was three now, he told me

gas stations i laughed in
i noticed f-cking everything
the light, the reflections
different languages, your expressions
we would fall down laughing
effervescent
and all over nothing, all over nothing

just as though
it was a joke my whole life through
all of the pain and sorrow i knew
all of the tears that had fallen from my eyes
i can’t say why
we walked in the park
under the shade
i avoided your eyes
i was ashamed of my own mind
no ssris
my day is dark as your night

oh, you got
the kindest of eyes
i cannot help but notice sometimes
but you know, as do i
i cannot look twice without falling right
into the sweet and the tender line between
something i can and can never be
and just then an ambulance
p-ssed on the street
and you took my arm reflexively

that was the year i was thirty
that was the year you were thirty-one
that was the year that we lost, or we won

that was the year i was thirty
that was the year you were thirty-one
that was that year, now here
now here is another one
