Okkervil River - It Was My Season

Tell me a reason
To break things off
Or stop the bleeding
When it's my season

My mind was just revving
Your eyes, they went hard
Our parents were freaking
But it was our season
All that time ago

And if you want to stop our thing
You'll stop my heart
All this pain inside's still just too sharp
What was I thinking?

Step out of your trailer
And into this dark
It's warm and it's breathing
And it's our season
Your dad's half sleeping
But, really, he's gone
Can't you hear is VCR weeping?
They crossed his wires completely
When they made him fire that gun

I'll say to you: to cut it offs
To cut me down
If they take me out of school, you out of town
I called a friend
My world at end
My words unwound
I said,
"It's crashing down around our heads"
We're dumb, we're dead
Shut up about it now

I won't say I'm sorry
And how would they know?
Below the atari
I could feel your heart was just going

We'll meet on the weekend
Your dad won't be home
Your sister's out cleaning
You don't need to speak it
Because I know
Baby, I know
I said I know
You know I know

That it was our season
It's hard to believe it
There isn't a reason
It's only a feeling

When I look back on it now
Remember how mixed up I got
Before they got me sorted out
All that heart-in-my-mouth
All that head filled with doubt
It's fading out
I hardly think about it now

They say that I'll go to college
And you will stay home
And watch while I'm leaving
The cold will just creep in
Oh, Jason, I know
