My joints aren’t loyal and I’m feeling old
This weather has got me down
And everyone I pass reminds me of a used up rodeo clown
It’s times like this can’t help myself
I gotta get in the car
Any distance satisfies when the radio plays NPR
I find myself in our old neighborhood
Where you kissed me in the snow
Fumbling in the vacant lot so that Jesus wouldn’t know
Your hair was crystallizing
The flurries were making sheep
I wasn’t the first boy that you loved but I could be the first man to keep
Nothing goes according to plan
Does it, Mary Anne?
But I’ll come around again
[instrumental]
Well I don’t know if you recollect
The way we had such kind neglect
And I can’t tell if I’m just bored
Playing with rhymes instead of cutting the cord
I’m sorry for misremebering
I’m sorry I never called
I’m mostly sorry I haven’t told you it’s you I miss after all
Sometimes you beat the rain
Sometimes it beats you
And sometimes the story you’ve told yourself turns out not to be true
Nothing goes according to plan
Does it, Mary Anne?
But I’ll come around again
Nothing goes according to plan
Forgive me, Mary Anne
Till I come around again
