The Shins - Fall Of '82 lyrics

rate me

I do relate to you in

so many ways,

but I didn’t go through

what you must have in those early days.

You had to be strong

at such a very young age,

a new life on Lima Lane.

So won’t you listen to me now?

There’s something I never told you,

but I’m about to try.

See you were my lifeline

when the world was exploding.

You moved back in with us

in the fall of ‘82

I fell into dark times

and you were there to help me through

You told me that a downturn will eventually improve

and you were right

so I‘m thanking you

So won’t you listen to me now?

There’s something I never told you,

but I’m about to try.

See you were my lifeline

when the world was exploding.

Footholds eroding

had you never been, my friend

I wouldn’t be

quite what you see

I wouldn’t be

the man I am

Sister you’ve known me

(Sister you’ve known me)

lost in a strange world.

(Sister you’ve known me)

What has it shown me?

(Sister you’ve known me)

What has it done for us?

(Sister you’ve known me)

Sister you’ve known me

(Sister you’ve known me)

lost in a strange world.

(Sister you’ve known me)

What has it shown me?

(Sister you’ve known me)

What has it done for us?

(Sister you’ve known me)

I’ve told the children

of that old dusty town,

when Halloween came,

I was still feeling down.

Momma, lost my sweet tooth.

What’s the point in going round?

Your boy is losing pounds.

Maybe try the lost in found.
