Jon Brion - Meaningless lyrics

rate me

Oil tankers in the National Guard<br />

I came to meet you, my car died in your yard<br />

Why turn the key?<br />

There's so much here to see<br />

These are my memories<br />

<br />

Of precious places, precious things<br />

That were meaningless before<br />

We'd seen them together<br />

<br />

Old hinges squeaking in the rain<br />

That hotel by the highway where we stayed<br />

There's something every hour<br />

Who needs the Eiffel Tower<br />

When we've got memories<br />

<br />

Of precious places, precious things<br />

That were meaningless before<br />

We'd seen them together<br />

<br />

The pen, the car<br />

The paint, the pier<br />

The moon and star<br />

The message clear<br />

Liberty raised her hand to us<br />

As if to say, ''It's OK, live today, live today''<br />

<br />

I said, ''Don't leave me, don't break the tie''<br />

Then I left you and the time went rolling by<br />

And here's what I can't stand<br />

I know that every landmark<br />

Triggers memories<br />

Of stupid places and silly things<br />

That were meaningless before<br />

We'd seen them together (repeat 3x)
