Gemini, I never knew
Just how bad I had it
Broke the habit, start anew
Mindless joy of brotherhood
It took so long to realize
It doesn’t feel like what it should
Time and date in the bottom right
Reliving every Christmas night
From ‘94 to ‘99
I stopped to watch them bat the blooms
I don’t care if we don’t get there soon
I’m just glad to leave the room
Frightened by the height of it
The steeper stairs
The evening prayers
To make it go away
I never cared much for the song
It’s there and then it’s gone
Let the record play
You’re learning how to act the fool
The curtains draw, your nerves are raw
But I know you’ll never lose
Laugh until our mouths are dry
And water pools obscure our eyes
Well, it comes as no surprise
Lightened by the sight of him
The easy chairs
The free repairs
To anything that breaks
I never cared much for the song
It’s there and then it’s gone
Let the record play
Lightened by the sight of him
The easy chairs
The free repairs
To anything that breaks
