Carin At The Liquor Store
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.
I was a worm, I was a creature
I get on the ground the second I'd see you
You cannot come buy your love
I wasn't a catch, I wasn't a keeper
I was walking around like I was the one who found dead John Cheever
Hand in glove
So blame it on me
I really don't care
It's a foregone conclusion
I see you in stations and on invitations
You'd fall into rivers with friends on the weekends
Innocent skies above
Carin at the liquor store, I can't wait to see you
I'm walking around like I was the one who found dead John Cheever
In the house of love
So blame it on me
I really don't care
It's a foregone conclusion
It wasn't so bad, I wasn't that sick
Got taken by love, I wasn't that quick
Foregone conclusion
It's gonna be different after tonight
You're gonna see me in a different light
It's a foregone conclusion
So blame it on me
I really don't care
It's a foregone conclusion
