lyrics

I hate songs about songs
I love tunes about side projects that go wrong
I wanna head out and
Walk off this wine
Cuz no bobby here wants to talk about gear
What pedals I use?
Do you mix into a limiter?
It’s 96k so the NPR crowd gets what we say

Do I ask too much of you?
Do I ask too much of you?

I wanna go home
And watch The West Wing and cry with you
Chess pieces on the fireplace
Coleslaw left out on the fireescape
I like being the last the last to bed
Locking the doors and kissing your head
It’s the time of night
I pull up YouTube
Watch Gordon Ramsay yell at these fools

Do we ask too much of you?
Do we ask too much of you?

I told you that
That Post Rock was dumb
You didn’t believe me and now I am done
I used to ask Paul
If there were still songs
That could drive you to tears?
Keep you from fear?
He stayed very still and shook his head
If it’s not Tom Waits you’re going to hell
I hate songs about songs
Films about films
It’s 96k so Pitchfork hears what we say

Do I ask too much of you?
Do we ask too much of you?
Do I ask too much of you?
Do we ask too much of you?
