lyrics

Tarrytown memories, take four
One two three

Nobody ever had any faith in me
Nobody ever thought I would go through with this
But here I am, shining as bright as I can be
Anyone who has any doubts, they'll have to come and see

What happened to originality?
What happened to playing the music that you like
I was sick of who I was, trying to always fit in
I couldn't take it anymore, I wasn't true to myself

So four years ago today I drove across the bridge
And these five guys changed everything for me

You're the reason I picked up a guitar
You're the reason I broke out my shell
You shine as bright as a shooting star
And you're the person that got my life out of hell

I didn't want to be like everybody else
Though I admit, I wanted to be like you
So I said, fuck you all, I'm going to do what I want
Everything I was in the past, none of it was ever true

I took a risk that would cost me more than my dignity
So I tried something new and pushed my ability

You're the reason I put down those sticks
You're the reason I left them all
Corrupted minds I just can't fix
If I bash their heads against a wall

If I could go back in time and talk to them
None of them would admit to being happy
Robots controlled by the music scene
Robots controlled by society

Don't give in to society
Don't give in to anybody else
Just do what makes you happy
And fuck what everybody else thinks

Oh ooh woah, I love you
Oh ooh woah, yes I do
Oh ooh woah, I love you
Oh ooh woah

I'll always love you
Flansburgh and Linnell

And that's the end
