Lyrics[]
I looked you up and down I liked everything I saw From the fragile outline of your hips To the trembling movements in your jaw But when the coffee cup shattered on the kitchen floor You said that you couldn't take it anymore I knew you were leaving I knew you were going to Bristol I watched you pack your bags Saw you head up to the door But when the key broke off in the deadbolt lock Said that you couldn't take it anymore That was the second time you said that in one day Why don't you just sit still It's going to be okay Going to Bristol Going to Bristol Going to Bristol Going to Bristol
Comments by John Darnielle About this Song[]
- "...In order to do that, I gotta put down this guitar and ask back to the stage the amazing, the incredible.... Owen Pallett, Final Fantasy. However, instead of playing one of his awesome and incredible songs, I'm going to play one of my crude little things." -- 2009-12-01 - Webster Hall - New York, NY
