That Song About Sidewalks By Every Band Ever

from How Do You Even Play This Thing by Tallboys

/

lyrics

It's Christmas in Boston, which is the second best season in Boston other than Fall. We're eating Chinese food, getting fucked up on Mai-Tais as the snow comes down. It's one of those nights, where snow quiets streets and you feel like laughing as loud as you can to fill up the city with some kind of sound to remind it that you're still there.

We are shouting at sidewalks.

The frozen stones of the darkened side streets take us behind landmarks of bad dates we had in high school walking around, wondering who'd hold whose hand first. I used to think my life would end up just like an episode of How I Met Your Mother and I would be Ted. Yeah, it's dumb but sometimes you just want To feel like you're in future looking back.

We are shouting at sidewalks.

We pass the closed clubs we used to see shows in. We pass the places who would serve underage. We pass the train stops we used to meet at. We pass the place I kissed you the first time. We're in the car and your taking me back home. I go back to school tomorrow. You do too. Our timing's as fucked up as I am off cheap rum. The city is empty and so are the two of us.

We're still here. Shouting at sidewalks.
