The Shins - Fall Of `82

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
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
