Okkervil River
[Verse 1]
Okkervil River on the radio, you never heard them before
Remember when your dad gave you hell and you cried on the bathroom floor
And we saved all our money for the day we'd up and get away
We never said sorry, no, we never felt bad about anything
[Chorus]
Oh-nah-nah-oh
Oh-nah-nah-oh
[Verse 2]
Winder rolled in like a hurricane, boy, and it knocked me around
The days grew thin, I was on my bike, watching the lights come down
Older man comes, saying 'Why you gotta be so loud?
Don't you know mister, there's no where to go in this one-way town
Except straight down, down like a falling wind
We were young, we were broke
We had everything, so forget-me-not for when I was fifteen
I was shy, I was green, I had everything
I had everything
[Chorus]
Oh-nah-nah-oh
Oh-nah-nah-oh
Oh-nah-nah-oh
Oh-nah-nah-oh
[Outro]
Down like a tired day
I've'a broken all the promises made
To not grow up, to keep hold of the simple things
For when I was fifteen, I had everything
I had everything
