lyrics

We were young, we were dumb,
No one’s contesting that.
On a play set off of Rosemont,
A few things happened several times.
Smoking cigarettes our teacher bought us
Before she got caught,
Still don’t know who talked,
But she never taught in Tucson after that.

There were two swing sets,
“One for children, one for smaller children.”
That was the joke you made.
Six months later, we were taking acid and you asked me
Why I’m laughing.
This is memory, this is memory.
That’s another story.
By that time I wasn’t living on Calle Vista de Colores.
I guess we were each other’s first time a few times.

Pretty weird to see you here in New York with your new band.
I brought my girlfriend, you guys always got along.
We were young, we were dumb, we were never in love.
We both knew that, but I still felt bad
Because every time I used to see you
Something would happen that we wouldn’t plan to.
Something would happen that we wouldn’t mean to.
Like trying acid for the first time on your bed,
Or that party at Arthur’s house (but I don’t talk about that).
I’m not trying to cosplay glory days because now we’re friends.

I don’t know why
When I thought about my house on Calle Vista de Colores,
The first thing that I thought about was you
And how I cannot wait to hear
Your next record.
