Rubber Legs Lyrics
i remember little town and the big gray house with the burgundy door the lawn shaped like a boot and the boy who liked pretending that the island in the middle was a shore time is a clock ticking it stops my heart to think of it i remember the magic in your eyes i'd stare at them and you'd say the silliest things like "christopher i'm crazy about you" and "matthew i love you monstrously" and it's my favorite time of year how i wish that you were here (or how i wish that i could be there) to watch the lights blink on the tree give thanks to god for everything and lay down all my fears and it's too late to call you on the phone and tell you that your boy is all alone tonight but i will never forget how you taught me to stand on these rubber legs and fight.

"and it's too late to call you on the phone and tell you that your boy is all alone tonight"
That part just gives me the shakes. This song is brilliant. Mineral rule.
I think it's about Chris's mom and just missing his family in general. Growing up means you are away from your family more and more... maybe he wrote this after spending his first Christmas away from them. That would explain the lights blinking on the tree and thanking God for everything.
I can scarcely believe the passion in his voice when he sings "Time is a clock ticking away, it stops my heart to think of it." Amazing, amazing.
"christopher i'm crazy about you" and "matthew i love you monstrously" are things that the mother said to her sons. Matthew is his older brother.
I think this is the Best Emo Song ever made.
"matthew i love you monstrously"
Could Matthew be Chris's father?
Nope, Matthew is his brother.
Nope, Matthew is his brother.
