This song was recorded over six months. The arrangement was shifted and adjusted over and over. Originally, it was simply an acoustic guitar song with some key changes. Hand drums were recorded by our neighbor John Verbeck and the main drums were synthesized. Thanks to the Flaming Lips for inspiration.
Lyrics
the signs i can't deny
like how for the first time
i'm not last in line
i watch them pass me by
and for the last time
i'll stand by the side
it lingered on a second late
my first real mistake
dwelling on what couldn't change
i couldn't change
i've never been caught but i always hide
walk around when it's dark outside
the shadows and the dark blue sky
why couldn't you be the one
who led me on so strong
wouldn't that be more fun?
it lingered on a second late
my first real mistake
dwelling on what couldn't change
i couldn't change
i couldn't change
but who can change
we stay the same
as we all age
