Wedding Bells are Breaking Up That Old Gang of Mine - Shearwater

Went to see the new baby

And we smoked weed on the back porch

And lying on my back with the pool floatie

«Raining Blood» just thundering forth

I said, «What do you say

Your parents take your place for an hour?

We can drive downtown

To our old favorite place

Let the years just melt away

And find ourselves back where we were found»

There’s not a soul down on the corner

And that’s a pretty certain sign

That I shouldn’t try

To play the reformer

Picking up pieces of that old gang of mine

But what would they say

If it went the other way

And we flew to today

Through ten years of time

They’d be ashamed

I’m so sure they’d be ashamed

At what I claim to be doing with my life

Now they’re all paired off

And kissing the other half goodnight

And then falling deep into the same sleep

While walls and warm sheets shut out the light

And I’m the only one

At the top of my lungs

Who’s still singing sweet adelines

They’re all filled up

They don’t need the love

That I’m bringing that old gang of mine

Not a soul down on the corner

They’re all safe sitting down behind smooth sheets of glass

I guess it’s not going to get any warmer

And I guess it’s raining slow

Until it’s raining fast
