Angela Surf City Lyrics

Angela, holds a grudge over nothing
Angela, what's the difference?
Today's a day like any other

Still the flags snap in the wind
Still your name rang true

You took the high road
I couldn't find you, up there
You kept your jaw wired closed
I never noticed before

I used to see the signs
Now I dream of the time
I was holding onto you
For a lack of anything to do

Still the whitecaps roll away
Still your name rings true
Mine is yours, yours is yours
Life goes on, life goes on all around you

Let's go home happy again
Just take your head from your hands
Take up the cause, just once more
I never noticed before

I used to see the signs
Now I dream of the time
I was holding onto you
For a lack of anything to do

Back to school, back to work
Can this go on forever?
Angela, what's the difference?
Life goes on all around you..

My favorite song on the new album, which is great. These guys never disappoint. Saw them with The National in Vancouver 2 weeks ago, and this song was excellent live.

Sounds like Angela kept things to herself, wouldn't communicate her feelings and he's feeling a bit of unrequited love now. Very cinematic song to me. I picture him sitting on a windy beach at night pondering this relationship...
