Rear Window (feat. Holly Furlone)

from Stages by Jon Porobil

lyrics

I only look for tears when I’ve been crying
And I believe in you unless I’m lying
I don’t believe in you anymore, and that’s why I’m moving

It only took four years this time around
For me to piss off every friend I’ve managed to make in this town
Personal best (personal best!) Because I’m all about self-improving

We never argued, but rarely agreed
You gave me what I asked for, but not what I need
Now through my rear window
I watch another former former “Promised Land” recede

I saw the paint chipping off behind your eyes
You started to look at your friends like they were spies
We glimpsed your hidden face like through a veil of cigarette smoke

Then at the sound of your voice I’d pull away
Because I’m never
When I tried to tell you, it came out as an awkward joke

In spite of our problems, we always got along
I tried to be perfect, but still it all went wrong
Now through your rear window
I hope you that you can see a better way to go on

We never argued, but rarely agreed
You gave me what I asked for, but not what I need
Now through my rear window
I watch another former “Promised Land” recede
