It's tacked on the end of The Vermont Connection as sort of a "hidden track".

I believe its about his ex, as most of the pre-W/T stuff is. New garden over old flowers- like rehashing things, trying something new that you've already done before

And old makes old jokes take on the feel of the lore- old people make old jokes/tales into somewhat of an epic told down and down to generations

And new lips are cradled sense of humor- like, maybe someone who always has a bit of humor or sarcasm about them?

So don't waste wishes on him- duh

Wish that one day they'd figure out how to shrink stars and I could keep one in my bedroom- Wishing for the impossible, something daryl might have truly wanted to do because stars are insanely beautiful

And wish that me and her could grow old together- see "duh"

And wish that in my next life I come back as a tiger- see every track on EYEWTKAS that refers to Tigers (esp the hidden track)

These are fun wishes In about seven minutes you can start- the Vermont Connection is a seven minute song

'Til then, you'll just listen to the radio from seat's edge- anticipate something to happen?

As if then it's the look on your face As if, as if then you'll matter And then I can't wait - as if then he will find some significance in this person he's trying to start over with, and if and when they might matter.

I love the way he reads this... almost hesitantly. I'd like to see what others thought of this.
