In the Lost and Found (Honky Bach) Lyrics
He held his breath,
To hold your hand;
To walk the stair-steps in pairs
Climbing up the slippery slope
I'm in love
God, I hope
Don't go home, Angelina
Stay with me
Hanging around in the lost and found
He kissed her quick
Feeling weird
Lonely leered
Disappeared
This is such a simple place
Passing time
Can't erase
Don't don't go home, Angelina
Make tomorrow new
Day breaks,
And every morning when he wakes,
He thinks of you
I'm alone
That's OK
I don't mind
Most of the time
I don't feel afraid to die
She was here, passing by
Don't don't go home, Angelina
Stay with me
Hanging around, in the lost and found
To hold your hand;
To walk the stair-steps in pairs
Climbing up the slippery slope
I'm in love
God, I hope
Don't go home, Angelina
Stay with me
Hanging around in the lost and found
Feeling weird
Lonely leered
Disappeared
This is such a simple place
Passing time
Can't erase
Don't don't go home, Angelina
Make tomorrow new
And every morning when he wakes,
He thinks of you
That's OK
I don't mind
Most of the time
I don't feel afraid to die
She was here, passing by
Don't don't go home, Angelina
Stay with me
Hanging around, in the lost and found

the word "bittersweet" was invented for this song...............RIP
He's in love with a girl, obviously. It almost has a childish feeling. It's that beginning love? Where it's all cute and romantic. But she's got to leave him and he's asking her not to. But in the end she does. And to me he's saying that he's alone now but it's okay because he had that perfect love. He's not afraid to die because even though he didn't get to keep it he found what he was looking for.
I love how it goes from being all happy and stacatto and then at the bridge goes into that sadder tone, but back to the happy piano. Like, as if to say, he can get over her even if he doesn't want to.
Does this sound like John Brion to anyone else? It really reminds me of the I heart huckabees stuff. I know this came first, but its really neet.
That's because it is Jon Brion. He played on this album and was an active part of Elliot Smith's music.

@EasyTarg8 yes I do hear Jon brion, especially in that bridge

Great song. "I don't feel afraid to die" chills me a bit, though. ...Considering...
Figure 8 is the ultimate album about loneliness. Lonely leered is such a catchy term that just says soooo much in two words!!!!!!
this song is so good. I love the piano peice! It's so fun!
Wow. This is such a goddamn good song. It's so cute and amazingly nice and kind of sad at the same time. I want to listen to it all the time.
I think I might.
this whole albunm can make me feel sick . . . .. . thats how powerful the lyrics are and the memories i have tied to it of a total infatuation to a guy who introduced me to it that i cant quite shake off. elliott was unbelievable
favorite elliott smith song.
well i have lots of them. but this is #1.
