'05: Never Again - The Magnetic Fields

Never again down this cobblestone lane

We’ll walk in the rain

Just having a day

Never when newspaper pages blow by

We’ll watch as they fly

And sing what they say

I guess there’ll be

Other fish in the sea

But I don’t want fishes

And you don’t want me

Never again will we walk in the snow

With nowhere to go

For ten centuries

Lately I’m thinking of packing it in

And going to Berlin or Los Angeles

I wish I had some place better to go

But lately I can’t take New York in the snow

I’m sorry I wasted your summer

I shouldn’t have stolen your light

Instead of me gawking

I should’ve kept walking

Everything would be alright

Never again will I look in your eyes

And see your surprise

At not being dead

Forever then I won’t know what to do

With these houses for you

I’ve built in my head

I wish I had something better to do

But even my own clothes remind me of you
