"Maybe next year, when the debt is gone,
when the car's paid off, and the house is done."
So we ran, and we ran, and we ran, from this so long
and now we see just how fucking wrong we were
Plucked out of nothing, now you're here
What an odd thing, to be right here
Plucked out some dark vacuum, now you're here
What an odd thing, to be alive in the 21st century, right here, right now.
Right into this town.
I love you Elodie,
I do, I do, I do..
Can't believe you're really here,
Can't believe the things you do.
I love you senselessly,
Like any old dad should,
And as the world keeps spinnin' round
I'll be here, solid wood.
Maybe next time, we won't wait so long
Need a friend for you, need a friend for us,
Cause it's so obvious that it just isn't working out
The radio silence of our friends' static sound.
Plucked out of nothing, now you're here
What an odd thing, to be right here
Plucked out some dark vacuum, now you're here
What an odd thing, to be alive in the 21st century, right here, right now.
Right into this house,
I love you Elodie,
I do, I do, I do..
Can't believe you're really here,
Can't believe the things you do.
I love you senselessly,
Like any old dad should,
And as the world keeps spinnin' round
I'll be here, solid wood.
All we had was nothing compared to this,
all we want is this.
I love you Elodie,
I do, I do, I do..
Can't believe you're really here,
Can't believe the things you do.
I love you senselessly,
Like any old dad should,
And as the world keeps burnin' down,
I'll be here, solid wood.

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
