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...

Here are some corrections to the lyrics:

In the 2nd verse, I think it's: Still the flags snap in the wind

In the 3rd verse, it's: You kept your jaw wired closed

In the 4th verse, it's: I used to see the signs

In the 5th verse, it's: Still the whitecaps roll away

In the 6th verse, it's: Let's go home happy again

Thanks. Used your corrections
