Her Words
Motion City Soundtrack Lyrics

Maybe you were right after all,
Maybe I'm just bad news,
I've been drowning in memories
Call it residual blues.
I fell asleep watching Veronica Mars again.
(Hey!)

I still fuss with that tourniquet,
And tried to squeeze in your dreams.
Slung it on- it's a perfect fit. What do you suppose that means?

My parents keep asking when you're planning on coming around.

If we'd only stayed together
I might not have fallen apart
But the words you said destroyed my planet.
I stall before I start.
I stall before I start anything at all.

Got a job at uncommon grounds,
I finally shaved off that beard.
I sold my Xbox to Jimmy down the street.
Hell, I even quit smoking weed.
I'm taking an online course- I'm learning to speak Japanese.

If we'd only stayed together
I might not have fallen apart
But the words you said destroyed my planet.
I stall before I start.
I stall before I start anything at all.

The things that used to mean so much to me,
Have gone the way of dinosaurs, hopes and dreams, and everything.
All I want for you to be is happy or something,
I guess anything is better than the time you spent hoping I'd get it sorted out.

I sent you a post card
But the post office sent it back
They said the buildings been torn down.
I just miss what I thought we would have.

If we'd only stayed together
I might not have fallen apart
But the words you said destroyed my planet.
It's all my fucking fault!

If we'd only stayed together
I might not have fallen apart
But the words you said destroyed my planet.
I stall before I start.
I stall before I start anything at all.
