Fall Of '82 - The Shins
Written by：James Mercer
I do relate to you in so many ways
But I didn't go through
What you must have in those early days
You had to be strong at such a very young age
A new life on lime lane
So won't you listen to me now
There's something I never told you
And I'm about to try
See you were my lifeline
When the world was exploding
You moved back in with us in the fall of '82
I fell into dark times
And you were there to help me through
You told me that a downturn would eventually improve
And you were right so I'm thanking you
So won't you listen to me now
There's something I never told you
And I'm about to try
See you were my lifeline
When the world was exploding
Footholds eroding
Had you never been my friend
I wouldn't be quite what you see
I wouldn't be the man I am
Sister you've known me
Lost in a strange world
What has it shown me
What has it unfurled
Sister you've known me
Been lost in a strange world
But has it shown me
What has it unfurled
October chill in that old dusty town
Halloween came I was still feeling down
Mom I lost my sweet tooth
What's the point in going round
Your boy is losing count
Maybe try the lost and found
