Fruit Fly
Nada Surf Lyrics
Left some food wrapped up
In a plastic bag
On the kitchen table
Way too long
Sat down to eat
Next to the bag
I was too tired
To throw it out
I saw a swarm of fruit flies
I took the bag downstairs
When i came back
They were still there
Flying jerky patterns
Like snowflakes in the air
I'm sorry you've got nowhere to go
I'm sorry you've got nowhere to go
Left straight right straight
I can't find a reason
I know i'll keep going but
I can't find a reason
Nothing looks right
Nothing smells right
And i can't land
Geometric patterns
Smearing out of control
Only have enough gas left
For the beercan to the bowl
What can you do but go on? (3x)
2x:
Oh no you make your own mistakes
I cannot bring them back to you
Oh no you make your own mistakes
I cannot measure up to you
In a plastic bag
On the kitchen table
Way too long
Sat down to eat
Next to the bag
I was too tired
To throw it out
I saw a swarm of fruit flies
When i came back
They were still there
Flying jerky patterns
Like snowflakes in the air
I'm sorry you've got nowhere to go
I'm sorry you've got nowhere to go
Left straight right straight
I can't find a reason
I know i'll keep going but
I can't find a reason
Nothing looks right
Nothing smells right
And i can't land
Geometric patterns
Smearing out of control
Only have enough gas left
For the beercan to the bowl
What can you do but go on? (3x)
2x:
Oh no you make your own mistakes
I cannot bring them back to you
Oh no you make your own mistakes
I cannot measure up to you

I love this song so much that I actually feel a constriction in my belly every time I hear it. Honestly, I can't explain it, but I get a physical reaction

Yo buddy, I hear ya. I’m more a cry baby… I learned the song but every time I sang and played guitar I’d well up. My buddies would be sweaty playing drums, bass and lead guitar and my face would be soaked in tears.
Dom Johnson
I’m with ya, can’t explain it. I mean, its a song about fruit flies for god’s sake yet its emotional and brilliant.
