lyrics

it don't take much for me to wonder how you've been
so when the phone rings, I won't ask enough of anything
it's been almost, it's been sometimes
you've been gone
these grand gestures cover over all that's wrong

so here's the wreckage, here's the remnants
here's the story line
you say it's occasional
but your cabinets are telling me otherwise
ashes drown in alcohol in these empties around this room
they say that they love you like this
I can't believe that's true
cause you don't even wake up
when I have to leave on sunday morning
on sunday afternoon

and you're taking chances on my time
this is no long distance dedication
let me drive
let me drive

when you remember this it might not seem bad enough
and I won't fill you in on how I've kept you from yourself
you'll blame me for the things that I did not say
you had not done
and isn't that the way it always is
the way it always was
cause you don't even wake up
when I have to leave on sunday morning
on sunday afternoon

cause it'll take a truck stop or two
a thousand miles
a cup of coffee
top 40 radio singing their sad sad songs
to get this behind me

Everything in Pen San Francisco

Combining the pop sensibility of Big Star and narrative observations of Jonathan Richman and Aimee Mann, Everything in Pen’s songs cover many topics---war criminals, sexism, and Dave Eggers--through her unique lens as an obsessive reader. She sings the things you won’t say aloud, of the foolishness, the hopefulness and the almost unbearable humanness of us all. ... more
