do you like beautiful music?

Kissing The Lipless
by The Shins

Called to see
If your back
Was still aligned
And your sheets
Were growing grass
All on the corners of your bed

But you've got too much to wear
On your sleeves
It has too much to do with me
And secretly
I want to bury in the yard
The great remains of a friendship scarred

You've told us of your new life where
You've got someone coming round
Gluing tinsel to your crown
He's got you talkin' pretty loud

Berate, remember
Your ailing heart and your criminal eyes
You say you're still in love
If it's true, what can be done?
It's hard to leave all these moments behind

Called to see
If your back
Was still aligned
And your sheets
All growing grass
All on the corners of your bed

But you've got too much to wear
On your sleeves
It has too much to do with me
And secretly
I want to bury in the yard
The great remains of a friendship scarred

You've tested your mettle
Of doe skin and petals
While kissing the lipless
Who bleed all the sweetness away

if you haven't heard this song you are missing out, on a lot.
the shins are just way too much the best band.
i can taste peanut butter.
na na na na bye bye
um?

their songs really are quite good.
They have such a nice/odd way of putting things.
I never knew the lyrics of this song till I read them. It seems to make slightly more sense now but before I thought it was just a jumble of nice words
