What's in It For? Lyrics
I walked in on a plan to dissolve all of your wishes
But I couldn't help your mouth which I missed by two inches
Maybe I thought that you and I could run away alongside
But I didn't understand I was a cold tear in your eye
What's in it for someone with nothing to do?
What's in it for me?
What's in it for someone with nothing to do?
What's in it for me?
I can read but I won't if I'm sleeping here without you
All these things that you learn, I've been knowing since my childhood
You are tiny and your lips are like little pieces of bacon
I can feel you on fire because you're drunk and I seem too cool
What's in it for someone with nothing to do?
What's in it for me?
What's it in for someone with nothing to do?
What's it in for me?
You know I love it when you put your fingertips around my shoulders
Should I take you to more functions or would you rather be lonely?
I feel like I'm messing up too much and I forget where I am
You are so much wiser and I'm used to stretching things out so long
What's in it for someone with nothing to do?
What's in it for me?
What's in it for someone with nothing to do?
What's in it for me?
But I couldn't help your mouth which I missed by two inches
Maybe I thought that you and I could run away alongside
But I didn't understand I was a cold tear in your eye
What's in it for me?
What's in it for me?
All these things that you learn, I've been knowing since my childhood
You are tiny and your lips are like little pieces of bacon
I can feel you on fire because you're drunk and I seem too cool
What's in it for me?
What's it in for me?
Should I take you to more functions or would you rather be lonely?
I feel like I'm messing up too much and I forget where I am
You are so much wiser and I'm used to stretching things out so long
What's in it for me?
What's in it for me?

i think it's "cold tear in your RAW HIDE" and that's "tear" as in rip something... not cry...
Oh, and that Kyle guy sounds like a real d*ck...
Yup, cold tear in your raw-hide (as in a rip in an animal skin)

I stumbled upon this song awhile ago and feel in love with it... it reminds me of a way I was in a while ago, that being said I feel this song is about being angry, confused, jealous and mislead over a break up. Seems he was the one that was dumped in the relationship, hes confused why and doesn't know what to do. She was complicated and appeared to be much smarter because she was set on the break up, and hes just used to riding out the relationship even if it has gone bad.
kind of bland the way it was put but thats what I got out of it, and worked for me.
i think this song is so brillant. it kinda reminds me of the shins/pavement.
i think this song is trying to say what am i getting out of this relationship.

I have to say that your conclusions about this song are miraculously introspective and deep beyond measure. I can tell you spent many a day and night thoroughly studying and meticulously researching the deeper meaning, potential metaphor and existential crises present behind lines like "What's in it for me?" Most of all I love your conclusion, "this song is trying to say what am i getting our of this relationship." I'm sure those new to Avi Buffalo applaud your work and steadfast dedication to unraveling this confusingly dense song into something we can all understand. Thank you....

Remember sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. And if that's too simple for you to understand, you've basically made a laughing stock of yourself but demeaning others who actually DID leave a comment as to what THEY thought this song was about....unlike you I see.

why are you ripping people who post on amazing songs? I could understand if you made fun of someone for posting on a garbage nickelback song, but Avi Buffalo are great. Chances are if you are listening to Avi when they haven't even blown up yet, most listeners are probably pretty chillin, unlike nickelback fans- who are not.

They remind me alot of the shins too!

Isn't it ironic that a band as refreshingly lacking in pretension as Avi Buffalo attracts listeners like this?

Hello song, I love you.
obviously the chillest, smoothest, and greatest song of all time.
I just saw these guys last night before Modest Mouse. They were really great. I liked them better in concert, because the lead singers voice comes out louder than on the album. But this album is great, and this is my favorite song off the album. Very Shins-esque.
You are tiny and your lips are like little pieces of bacon
vagina? or I'm just perverted? haha
