TV Trays

this song makes me feel back to those days in the summer when you just sit around and chill.... and you want to get out and do something.. you just can't

the opening line of this song is awesome. really makes you feel that seasonal transition. reminds me of the first day back to school in september, in that mental change of seasons.

should be

"you're so little help" not "you're so little, hell"

(more) accurate lyrics:

I try to scrape it off the thought of skin against skin and move it from the front to back and start it, go again but the depression and time breed and multiply and I've got more mouths to feed than I could ever it in this auto you go have a good time bring back stories 'cause I will stay behind

so punch the clock, two months are up, and I am stuck down against the floor the heat rises out and leaves town as the depression and time breed and multiply 'til i've got more mouths to feed than I could ever fit in this auto you go have a good time bring back stories 'cause I will stay behind

thats the story of a boy who tried to play it cool but found it hard to keep it up when you were changing rules and the depression and time breed and multiply 'til I've got more mouths to feed than I could ever fit in this auto you go have a good time bring back stories 'cause I will stay behind.

^^oops, wrong one...

summer's gone, i overslept and woke up to the chill of fall overworked, and now i'm all used up this tv haze, sucks me through i watch the world from the inside overworked, and i'm now i'm all used up

final drag, fills my lungs and makes me high they fill up as i bottom out steering wheels, watch them driving driving with someplace to go i'd steer myself but i don't have a route

working on demand, no ice cream man, beaches filled with sand while the tv trays, wasted summer days, slowly slippin' away

but you're so little help, when days are slow and i'm down inside, i'll have to go you're so little help, when months are slow and i'm down inside

summer's gone, i overslept, and woke up to the chill of fall overworked, and now i'm all used up this tv haze, sucks me through i watch the world from the inside overworked and now i'm all used up

working on demand, no ice cream man, beaches filled with sand while the tv trays, wasted summer days, slowly slippin' away

but you're so little help, when days are slow and i'm down inside, i'll have to go you're so little help, when years are slow and i'm down inside

this song is a lot more pop than any other death cab song. this is why i can't stop listening to it.

I think this song is talking about someone who worked all summer, living on the bare minimums, without "beaches filled with sand". They live off TV trays; perhaps it's a job over college. It's basically saying "Don't waste your life working for nothing."

Heh, today is my last day of summer vacation, and I am listening to this song.. I agree the opening line.. really describes summer.. In my personal meaning, it's just summer went by so fast.. sigh.. and working a job consuming most of the time of the summer you could have been spending having fun.. So everything is hazy.. just work during summer, eating out of TV trays, not being able to afford anything else, and going right back to school.

I love this song because I can completely relate...sometimes I feel like my soul is being sucked dry working for the man..."overworked and now I'm all used up" I feel that the entire song is about wanting more out of life than just a 9-5 job that most of us have...

love love love. such an wonderful end-of-summer song.
