The Shins - Fall Of '82 lyrics

I do relate to you in so many ways But I didn't go through what you must have in those early days You had to be strong at such a very young age A new life on Ilima Lane So won't you listen to me now There's something I never told you And I'm about to try See you were my lifeline when the world was exploding You moved back in with us in the fall of '82 I fell into dark times and you were there to help me through You told me that a downturn would eventually improve And you were right, so I'm thanking you So won't you listen to me now There's something I never told you And I'm about to try See you were my lifeline when the world was exploding Footholds eroding Had you never been my friend I wouldn't be quite what you see I wouldn't be the man I am Sister you've known me Lost in a strange world What has it shown me? What has it unfurled? Sister you've known me Been lost in a strange world But what has it shown me? What has it unfurled? October chill in that old dusty town Halloween came, I was still feeling down Mom, lost my sweet tooth, what's the point in going 'round? Your boy is losing count "Maybe try the lost and found"
