We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes Lyrics
Left uninspired by the crust of railroad earth that touched
the lead to the pages of your manuscript.
I took my thumb off the concrete and saved up all my
strength to hammer pillars for a picket fence.
It wasn't quite what is seemed: a lack of pleasantries
(my able body isn't what it used to be)
I must admit I was charmed by your advances:
your advantage left me helplessly into you.
Talking how the group had begun to splinter and I could
taste your lipstick on the filter...
I tried my best to keep my distance form your dress
but call-response overturns convictions every time.
My memory cannot recall: a wave of alcohol we shared
a cigarette and shaved the hours off.
Lushing with hallway congregation, my best judgment
signed its resignation
I rushed this. We moved too fast, trips into
the guestroom.
the lead to the pages of your manuscript.
I took my thumb off the concrete and saved up all my
strength to hammer pillars for a picket fence.
It wasn't quite what is seemed: a lack of pleasantries
(my able body isn't what it used to be)
I must admit I was charmed by your advances:
your advantage left me helplessly into you.
taste your lipstick on the filter...
but call-response overturns convictions every time.
My memory cannot recall: a wave of alcohol we shared
a cigarette and shaved the hours off.
signed its resignation
the guestroom.

god, love this song. the last lines "i rushed this, we moved too fast, trips into the guestroom"
....ahhhhh it just tells a story that i can see so well. absolutely great song.
btw, this is actually called title track
havn't we all been in one of these situations.... ? Love this song. abslutely fantastic.
"btw, this is actually called title track"
Actually no, it's called "we have the facts and we're voting yes" , it's named title track on the album because the album name became the song's name.
Yeah, I love this song, because funny thing is, people love all the new major songs dcfc have, and this one just isn't that overrated at all, the whole album is amazing, kinda tells my life, well, mostly I can totally relate.
BTW! The guy above my comment is very correct. :]

i also believe its called title track check allmusic guide and wikipedia though wikipedia isnt the most reliable source i admit
I think this song is about young love that was rushed into because it was based on attraction, drunken feelings without a filter and wanting the approval of someone you admire. But in the end, he realized that it wasn't genuine enough to last.
