lyrics

(instrumental, overwhelming)

I recorded this twice and kept them both
You can hear me disagreeing with myself
That's the closest thing to honest I can manage
(manage, manage)
Two of me, both a little bit wrong

The summer we were seventeen
(seventeen)
I remember the heat and nothing else

Blur the room
(blur it out)
Everything I loved is out of focus
Blur the room
And that is how I know it happened

Your face is gone but the driveway isn't
The sprinkler, the concrete, the smell of the fence
Memory keeps the wrong things on purpose
(on purpose)
I've stopped arguing with it

(clean, dry, close)
I could describe your face if I tried.
I don't try.
(WALL OF GUITARS RETURNS, ENORMOUS)

Blur the room
(blur it out)
Everything I loved is out of focus
Blur the room
And that is how I know it happened

(blur the room...)
