lyrics

caffeine headaches and dirty snow banks
everybody is sliding off the road

but it’s starting to clear up - the snow turns to rain
but the road stays the same endless stretch of salt stained gray
i could’ve just stayed at home - but i’m teaching myself to not get so scared so easily.

but we ruined it by walking through it -
it was only perfect until we got there.

it’s not a very practical ground cover.

and if i get so stressed about gas prices why can’t i just download gasbuddy for my phone
do i know i would never stop to check it
maybe try while driving but hopefully there’d be someone in the car who could check it for me

and i know that it just comes down to geography
but i feel like the grass is always greener there
and i know that it just comes down to geography
but i feel like the trees all grow taller there
and i know that it just comes down to geography
but i feel like i can’t be close to everybody all at once.

but in snow world it’s hard to want to go outside
because we’ll ruin it by walking through it.

Stumbled across this great band because of Martha the band and I just love their sometimes melancholy garage-sound. Also I like the acoustic songs. I still remember seeing them live in my hometown when they were touring with Erica Freas and asked them for a setlist to have something to remember the great concert. It´s hanging on my wall since that day :) Ninehundredninetynine
