Aside Lyrics

The Weakerthans - Aside
Again, just brought over from the Weakerthans boards. http://theweakerthans.tk/ All
to Zach.
Measure me in metered lines, in one decisive stare,
the time it takes to get from here to there.
My ribs that show through t-shirts and these shoes I got for free;
I'm unconsoled. I'm lonely.
I am so much better than I used to be.
Terrified of telephones and shopping mall, and knives,
And drowning in the pools of over lives.
Rely a bit to heavily on alcohol and irony.
Get clobbered on by courtesy,
in love with love, and lousy poetry.
And I'm leaning on a broken fence between Past and Present tense.
And I'm losing all these stupid games that I swore I'd never play.
but it almost feels okay.
Bm D (plucky: Bm Asus4 C ) x2
Circumnavigate this body of wonder and uncertainty.
Armed with every previous failure, and amateur cartography,
Hold C (A B A G fill) D5 C5 B5 A5 (pause)
I breathe in deep before I spread these maps out on my bedroom floor.
And I'm leaning on a broken fence between Past and Present tense.
And I'm losing all these stupid games that I swore I'd never play.
But it feels okay.
G D C C x2 (with intro riff)
And I'm Leaving. Wave goodbye and I'm Losing, but I'll try,
With the last ways left, to remember. Sing my imperfect offering.
