You threw a line, I took the bait,
against every nervous feeling.
You ushered in the renaissance of social, mental healing.
Now I'm back there in the rain on that warm winter day.
Sipping tea and talking life,
And how we always look for meaning.
We come up short, we spin our wheels,
we end up right back in the dark.
We fight the fight, we live our lives,
always just shy of a spark.
And with one stupid twitch of a finger,
A mother lost a son,
A love lost a lover,
A pride lost its heart,
We all lost our brother to time.
We can all go back to take the blame,
but none of us can ever feel the way
His shadow felt on that long summer day.
His shadow felt on that long summer day.
His shadow felt as his body slumped away.

Lost track of these guys for a couple years, then saw the Tiny Desk concert come up in my feed. I've had the album on loop on Spotify since Friday.
This song in particular has been stuck in my head all afternoon. quiksilv26
