we had a season

from storm's here by the garages

VERSE 1
JH: Well,
You were everybody's boyfriend
I was everybody's fear
Now I'm in everybody's clubhouse
Drinking everybody's beer
'Cause I threw, and I threw you away, and I knew you were gone
BF: Now I'm down here in the hall
When i saw you saunter in
And i watched your face fall
From that peanut-eating grin
'Cause you knew that I knew that you knew how bad you'd done me wrong

PRECHORUS
BF: And now you're here asking me for one final chance
JH: Bad times are near and I promise we're allies of circumstance
But I need you tonight
BF (spoken): Look,

CHORUS
2x: We had a season
We had a year
BF: between when i died
JH: and i reappeared
2x: we had every ability
but we never found stability
I had my reasons
I had my fears
BF: I thought we tried
JH: I saw the tears in your eyes when I lied
BF: I thought you'd be my bride...

VERSE 2
BF: When you made a mix tape showin' where your heart was at
And I took that cassette down to the laundromat
And the driers there were thumping time
Punctuating every rhyme
'til the end of Side A
when the Walkman snapped your voice away
JH: each time that i snapped should've been the last one
I said i'd change, but i threw you a fast one
My arm flew, and i knew you couldn't stay
And I watched your face burn the last time you turned away

PRECHORUS
2x: And now we're here, there's only one place left to go
It feels so queer, and I know this is our final rodeo
BF: and it isn't right
JH: but still,

CHORUS
2x: we had a season, we had a year
BF: between when i died
JH: and i reappeared
BF: it turns out your fragility
was just a big liability
2x: i had my reasons
i had my fears
JH: i had my pride
BF: i had those tears in my eyes as i died
JH: i never cried 'til i saw you...

BRIDGE
2x: down here in the hall, where you never see the sun
And I want to play ball, and the game is far from won
And we won't know the score til the game is said and done
But I think this last fight is gonna be our final one

CHORUS
2x: We had a season
We had a year
BF: between when i died
JH: and i reappeared
2x: All that's left is futility
It's too late for stability
I had my reasons
I had my fears
BF: I'll let things slide
2x: I know the tears in your eyes haven't dried
JH: I'll swallow my pride

2x (slower): Tonight I need you right here
