The original version of this is way different than the re-recorded versions. With good reason.
lyrics
Make up your mind, I know it's hard to choose.
Just face it man, she won't go for you.
So re-comb your hair, a smiling stare, you've nothing to prove.
Sink under your skin, find comfort in that you'll never lose.
Learn to stay back, pound on the glass 'cause she smiled at you.
But wait 'til she goes, 'cause she'll never know just what you've been through.
You're nothing to hid, so wash out your eyes, they'll turn black and blue.
Sing all your songs, right all your wrongs. Your dreams won't come true.
You're lonelier than, and hopeless again, but the difference is huge.
A shot to the heart, a limp from the start, but the race isn't through.
You'll hang on her words, you'll hang from the boards that hold up the room.
So deal with it kid, 'cause she never did know what she's done to you.
Your story's so sad. It's really too bad that nobody knew.
The passing of time, the sound of the rhyme, and we're all just like you.
Garrett has a really great sense of melody; I very often find myself thinking I would have chosen the exact same chords for his songs, or am jealous I didn't think of them first. Pete Davis
Nick Steinborn, guitarist of the Wonder Years, has lots of recording experience. He also has lots of great ideas and a loop pedal. He's also a friend of mine. He'd be my first pick for dream band. Pete Davis
