Dirty Cartoons Lyrics
go home, I'd like to
stumble to bed and lay beside you
until we're even or romantically bored,
whichever comes first
go home, I'm trying
but I've been misled by dirty cartoons
you'll keep me honest for old time's sake
I'm begging of you, go home, go home
(I'd like to) go home
I've mined the graveyard of unpublished poems
you should be so lucky
consider the meaning and shrug it right off
you'll only encourage me
(I'd like to) go home
I like to go home
stumble to bed and lay beside you
until we're even or romantically bored,
whichever comes first
but I've been misled by dirty cartoons
you'll keep me honest for old time's sake
I'm begging of you, go home, go home
you should be so lucky
consider the meaning and shrug it right off
you'll only encourage me

i'd like to...
hear this song every minute for the rest of my life
At a live performance of this in St. Louis on youtube, Justin introduces it as 'a song about suicide.'
amazing song, cant get enough
i'm not sure what significance these lyrics hold for me...but, this song... it sounds like heaven...
Tiny thing: "CONSIDER the meaning," not "considers."
This song is amazing. My favorite on a stellar album.
Agree with all of the above, this is a fantastic song.
I feel like these lyrics are looking at a relationship through a lens of expected familiarity. It is a glimpse of the longing that accompanies a homecoming, that expected familiarity, and it is captured flawlessly in this song. I'm particularly partial to the lines,
"I've mined the graveyard of unpublished poems you should be so lucky consider the meaning and shrug it right off you'll only encourage me"
Many times I have placed important lyrics in front of deaf ears. Wanting my audience to hear a deeper meaning that sums up my heart's intent, only to have them "shrug it right off."
Beautiful, beautiful song.
I've always thought this song was about a guy who was caught by his partner for watching porn, then he got kicked out of the house and now he's begging her to allow him to come back.
