Lyrics
They burned out so long ago, you should fold up your telescope, in youth we held the keys
They burned out so long ago, we were young and dumb and free
We had an answer for everything, how very tragic Everything, on a pull-out bed
broken down as two prisoners
chuck your compass at the unknown
we hung from the window sill
They probably should have been destroyed, we stayed at your sister s place Tim, constant questioning has left us embittered
We had an answer for everything, just above our bed
We had an answer for everything, we hung from the window sill An, now here we are
constant questioning has left us embittered
you should shoot out every star
Those twinkly little lights, we hung from the window sill
You kept those dirty polaroids, we barely could make the rent
on the page for illinois
That road trip to champaign, we were young and dumb and free Tim, our first studio
yet you kept them
We were young and dumb and free, we were young and dumb and free Tim, all they ve gotten you is lost
Chuck your compass at the unknown, we hung from the window sill
those twinkly little lights
in an atlas under your mattress
You should shoot out every star, now here we are Tim, yet you kept them
we had an answer for everything
We had an answer for everything, an engagement ring hidden in my dopp kit
You kept those dirty polaroids, in youth we held the keys, on a pull-out bed
So we held our world on a string, they burned out so long ago
