It Was My Season

Tell me a reason

To break things off

Or stop the bleeding

When it's my season

My mind was just revving

Your eyes, they went hard

Our parents were freaking

But it was our season

All that time ago

And if you want to stop our thing

You'll stop my heart

All this pain inside's still just too sharp

What was I thinking?

Step out of your trailer

And into this dark

It's warm and it's breathing

And it's our season

Your dad's half sleeping

But, really, he's gone

Can't you hear is VCR weeping?

They crossed his wires completely

When they made him fire that gun

I'll say to you: to cut it offs

To cut me down

If they take me out of school, you out of town

I called a friend

My world at end

My words unwound

I said,

"It's crashing down around our heads"

We're dumb, we're dead

Shut up about it now

I won't say I'm sorry

And how would they know?

Below the atari

I could feel your heart was just going

We'll meet on the weekend

Your dad won't be home

Your sister's out cleaning

You don't need to speak it

Because I know

Baby, I know

I said I know

You know I know

That it was our season

It's hard to believe it

There isn't a reason

It's only a feeling

When I look back on it now

Remember how mixed up I got

Before they got me sorted out

All that heart-in-my-mouth

All that head filled with doubt

It's fading out

I hardly think about it now

They say that I'll go to college

And you will stay home

And watch while I'm leaving

The cold will just creep in

Oh, Jason, I know
