--
We found a house
with a yard
with ALL of my things
and MOST of your things
and yeah honey i was proud of it
yeah honey i was proud of you...
You quote the good book
when it's convenient
but you don't have the sense, no
you don't have the sense
to talk it through to dawn
instead you're slashing through the bars...
and the boxes,
the hand-me-down couch and chair
it used to be at your church
we borrowed them from there
a cabinet record player with nothing but james taylor
two carpets over corners coverin that hard wood floor
i've been fooled too fast before (before, before...)

the love we had was good enough
the past that we were stuck between
but so much stuff must go tonight
the love we had was dead

"Slashing" meaning drinking but i do hear mud in there too...
the song is obviously about the ending of Adam's engagement to Chauntelle DuPree from Eisley. The whole "You quote the good book" is a reference to Chantelle's strong religious beliefs.
thats pretty good man, glad to have someone else's ear for this song, i was only listening to a live preformance on youtube, i'll change it to your version
