Jon Brion - Meaningless lyrics
rate meOil 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)
