We Looked Like Giants (Demo)

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

God bless the daylight, the sugary smell of springtime

Remembering when you were mine in 1994.

When every Thursday I'd brave those mountain passes

And you'd skip your early classes

And we'd learn how our bodies worked.

God damn the black night with all its foul temptation

I become what I always hated

When I was with you then.

We looked like giants in the back of my grey subcompact

Fumbling to make contact

As your parents slept inside.

And from this floor

I can see through your window next door

He’s strumming a tune

On the toy guitar I gave to you.

You throw your head back

So overcome with laughter.

Do you remember the JAMC?

And reading aloud from magazines?

I don't know about you but I swear on my name they could smell it on me

And I've never been that good at secrets.

No.

And from this floor

I can see through your window next door

He’s strumming a tune

On the toy guitar I gave to you.

You throw your head back

So overcome with laughter.

So overcome with laughter.

So overcome with laughter.

So overcome with laughter.
