No more runnin / I've got to breathe / On back porches with the torch of a / firefly lit tree

Those words create such a vivid and beautiful image in my mind.

I just heard the live version today.
When I understood what he was singing I was really touched by the words.
Young Prayer is a heartbreaking piece of art.

For some strange reason the fact that I'm gay makes the lyrics resonate more within me. Like it's such a super sweet sentiment of giving the gift of grand children to your parents, but yeah I'm gay. I ain't never gonna have kids. Or at least it'll be more complicated lol

"Until they buried phantom by the road" hhhunnnnnggggggg

And I can't tell if that line in winter's love is "a false snow fall could ruin my day" or "no falls, no falls could ruin my day." Either way I like it.

Post **Posted:** Sat Aug 03, 2013 1:38 am

I always thought it was a false snowfall or no false snowfall but lots of lyrics sites say "no falls, snowfalls"

Right here's where it's at:
"Found a way and I feel like I shouldn't let go.
Drop a bomb on the spots where my doubt streams grow."

Best line off Tomboy in my opinion!

Take one day at a time
Anything else you can leave behind
Only one thing at a time
Anything more really hurts your mind

Post **Posted:** Mon Aug 26, 2013 6:08 am

^ agreed

love the simplicity of Person Pitch's lyrics in general

Post **Posted:** Wed Sep 18, 2013 3:55 pm

Not sure if it was mentioned yet, but for the longest time, Alvin was my favorite song and my favorite line was " my mind is not unkind it's just not open " pretty powerful stuff for such a young lad ... <3 will always have a special place in me heart.

"Baby in your cradle look at me
Baby speak in rhythms now you're three
Ride your German Shepherd 'till you're five
Baby think the TV is alive
Baby spend the night out you're thirteen
Bending for a wish your candles leaned
Baby bang erasers and wash the board
Think just yesterday you wore a sword"

That's the part that really gets to me.
Especially when the keyboard kicks in!!
AAAAHHHH!!

I love the lyrics to Sasong, especially this part:

And you held the sneeze for as long as you could
Just to cast it to the sneezing void
I think I have a disease that makes my hearing imperfect
But at least I make some wonderful noise
And back in the trees I saw a shadow's birth but
No one said it's a girl or a boy
You can take all you want from another person
In the end you find you lose your voice

Somehow this speaks to me, such beautiful imagery, and the whole song is really touching.

Some of my favorite lines:

"Only my best friends use the coke pot crack"

"the other side of takeout is mildew on rice"

"Give me rabies, hand me babies at the hospital"

"She's gonna have a baby! She's gonna have a baby!"

"Ever since I was a boy I found new ways to view my porridge"

"when there are hard times i'll step it up"

OR

" keep it real with myself and never let obsessions with connections to an outside source
be crippling my abilities to breathe and take a step out from my usual places."

OR

"And I don't want, and I won't have
To keep myself from moving on anyways
And I know how too many tough times
Can ruin the day from good ways"

probably my three favorite lyrics

"The flies in the dark
With their ways of
Shedding some light
Now I've lost all my day"

Coolness is having courage
Courage to do what is right
Try to remember always
Just to have a good time
