Three's Lyrics
Eliza's in the elevator
Finding words that rhyme with "sunny"
I think it's funny how she just leaves "funny" out
And me, I'm on my way downstairs
Gonna gaze and wander aimlessly
I'm gonna figure out what Manhattan's all about
And how I wish it would rain tonight
I'd find a good excuse to stay inside
And watch those props come tumbling through the air
Cause it's been the worst year of my life
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna die
So could you please, could you please, could you please
Grow out your hair?
William plays harmonica and guitar
By the side of the sidewalk
I'd love to stay and steal his melody
Cause he hasn't got an answer to force
No one cares about his voice, no
No, not a choice
Sometimes I wish that nobody loved me
And now I wish I could stab my throat
There goes your wife, your car, your home
There goes the life I've convinced myself I wanna own
And Becca you could come back to my clothes
The only note I'll hold is the one you fold
Could you please, oh could you please, oh could you please
Grow out your hair?
Grow it dark and long like the winter
With no split ends, split ends are like friends
I don't need them
And if you've got older friends
Then I suggest you listen to them
Cause they're all I want, the world, the fallen hope
All the prophets on the green grass, they're all in the window
Yeah, my life is just like religion
I'm making it up as I go, oh, oh, oh
Well they say all bad things come in threes
Well the last year has made the last three looks so easy
You were supposed to keep the disease between you and me
So bandage up your wrists, throw away your prescriptions, and
And baby come back to me, yeah
My legs gave in on Forty-Second
Lord, I think it's a hint...

"My life is just like religion I'm making it up as I go" amazing song, I've heard them play it live, but unlike most songs they play that didn't say what it was about.
the song is about the same girl he wrote Dog Problems (the song) for, Becca, who I would assume is his high school sweetheart, the one he mentioned on the DVD.
i wish there was a recorded version of this song somewhere. i love this song.
It's a depressed song. It's like he doesn't know what he wants out of life. I like the little homage to Anita & Sam at the end of the sog.
and does anyone have the lyrics to the demo version?
the demo version of this is gorgeous, but i wish i could find the lyrics anywhere!
this song is depressing! I think it's basically him, miserable about how horrible his love life is.. but he's got this example of love, his friend Sam and Anita.. and they are what help him get through the day.
I relate to this song so very much.
I think this was on B-sides with slightly different lyrics. I love the "well they say all bad things come in threes" bridge. And the nod to Dear Nate. ("not an answer to post, no one cares about his voice") haha I miss dear nate.
i think there's a lot of songs about becca. this, dog problems, time bomb, you're not a whore, and probably a few others. i believe this because she obviously attempted suicide, according to this song ("so bandage up your wrists, throw away your prescriptions"), and those songs mention suicide, except for dog problems, but that says her name in it.
after "throw away your prescriptions" he says "full", at least on the version I have.
