Wedding Crashers movie - Aside lyrics

rate me

Song by The Weakerthans<br /><br>

Measure me in metered lines, in one decisive stare,<br>

the time it takes to get from here to there.<br>

My ribs that show through t-shirts and these shoes I got for free;<br>

I'm unconsoled, I'm lonely.<br>

I am so much better than I used to be.<br>

Terrified of telephones and shopping malls and knives, <br>

And drowning in the pools of other lives.<br>

Rely a bit to heavily on alcohol and irony.<br>

Get clobbered on by courtesy, in love with love, and lousy poetry.<br>

And I'm leaning on this broken fence between Past and Present tense.<br>

And I'm losing all those stupid games that I swore I'd never play.<br>

But it almost feels okay.<br>

Circumnavigate this body of wonder and uncertainty.<br>

Armed with every precious failure, and amateur cartography,<br>

I breathe in deep before I spread those maps out on my bedroom floor.<br>

And I'm leaving. Wave goodbye.<br>

And I'm losing, but I'll try, with the last ways left, to remember.<br>

Sing my imperfect offering.<br>

<br>
