La Dispute
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I recall once on the church steps,
2
When I moved to kiss your chest,
3
How we paid such close attention
4
To each sweet and stuttered breath,
5
I should’ve stopped to paint our picture,
6
Captured honest pure affection,
7
Just to document the difference
8
Between attraction and connection.
9
I can see all of my friends and
10
I break into empty buildings,
11
When the coast was clear,
12
With backpacks full of beer,
13
We’d throw our bottles from the rooftops
14
At this city-it looked endless.
15
Guess I still don’t see the difference
16
Between real purpose and that urgent adolescence.
17
And I remember in a basement sharing sweat
18
With all these stranger boys and girls,
19
“We’ll change the world!” We sang,
20
“We’ll change the world!” But,
21
Nothing seems to change and
22
They say none of them will listen,
23
But I still see much more power in that basement
24
Than in elected politicians.
25
And if we get beaten by this winter,
26
If we get strangled by regret, just
27
Let our love of life and tension
28
Gasp in sweet and stuttered breaths, and
29
Have them lay us in a basement,
30
Smash some bottles on the ground, and
31
Say we never knew the difference
32
Between the feeling and the sound.
33
Remember not our faulty pieces,
34
Remember not our rusted parts,
35
It’s not the petty imperfections that define us but
36
The way we hold our hearts,
37
And the way we hold our heads,
38
I hope they write your names beside mine
39
On my gravestone when I’m dead.
40
And when we’re dead let our voices carry on
41
To find a better song.
42
To find a better song and sing along
