Our Hearts, Young & Over Reaching

from The Song is You by Amateur Party

/

lyrics

What was that Amelia said? That "P is for the pain."
It's just like Lance said, you curse the sky but you still can't stop the rain.
So here's to the mix tapes, here's to 45s (the treble's high),
Here's to outrunning the others who we want to leave behind.
So show me your rates, let's see if I'm justified
Here's to the ones built up like concrete blocks who never gave a fuck about our lives.
Now, here's to deposits lost and broken mic' stands.
Skinned Teen(s), "sutured hearts," why don't you tell me about your favorite band?
'Cos you can do what you want to do without anyone to counsel you.
And you can say what you want to say
And you can stay at my house but don't leave that on my roommate's bed.
My heart was young, it was over-reaching.
My heart was in my throat but still persistent, beating.
Spurred on by survival songs from Oly, Wa, and DC,
Then missing the nite-owl bus when you went down to meet me.
[A love song for Heavenly, J Church, mix-tape swappers, pouring over the Kill Rock Stars catalog, getting mail from Dischord, Rugger Bugger, and all the friends making music now.]
