Gilmore Girls movie - Know Your Onion! lyrics

rate me

Song by The Shins<br /><br>

Shut out, pimpled and angry <br>

I quietly tied all my guts into knots <br>

Gave up on trying to make 'em <br>

I figured it'd take 'em too long to look up and besides... <br>

<br>

It was undeniably clear to me I don't know why <br>

When every other part of life seemed locked behind shutters <br>

I knew what worthless dregs we've always been <br>

<br>

Lucked out found my favorite records <br>

Lying in wait at the Birmingham Mall <br>

The songs that i heard <br>

The occasional book <br>

Were the only fun I ever took <br>

And I got on with making myself <br>

The trick is just making yourself <br>

<br>

But when they're parking their cars on your chest <br>

You've still got a view of the summer sky <br>

To make it hurt twice when your restless body <br>

Caves to its whims <br>

And suddenly struggle to take flight... <br>

<br>

Three thousand miles north east <br>

I left all my friends at the morning bus stop shaking their heads <br>

"What kind of life do you dream of? you're allergic to love" <br>

Yes, I know but I must say in my own defense <br>

It's been undeniably dear to me, I don't know why <br>

When every other part of life seemed locked behind shutters <br>

I knew the worthless dregs we are <br>

The selfless, loving saints we are <br>

The melting, sliding dice we've always been<br>

<br>
