I think kidmeh is right with his lyric correction suggestions. It sounds like that's what he's saying when listening to Cheap Magic Inside. So instead of "we felt true" it's "we felt clean," and instead of "and as we reach for the sky" it's "Hills reach for the sky."
Also on Cheap Magic Inside I can't help but hear "What's to save, holidays I cannot bear," but I can't seem to make sense of that so I figure I'm mishearing. Either way I definitely think it's "save" not "say", and either "all the days," "are the days," or "holidays." I also don't think it's "buildings inside," to me it sounds more like "buildings in sight," or something similar. I definitely hear "sight."
I also think he's saying "A sunday smile, we wore it for a while" not "you wore it..." I also hear "that cemetery mile" not "a cemetery mile." Which isn't too important, but it can give a sense of specificity to what he's singing about, almost qualifying what a cemetery mile would be, or referring to a very specific period, like the final moments of the relationship. Almost like a funeral procession of the relationship.
And interestingly on Cheap Magic Inside he clearly says "about a sunday smile, and we felt clean" the first time, while the second time he says "about our sunday smiles, and we felt clean." Doesn't seem to be that way in the album version though.
Does anybody else hear what I do, or am I just crazy?
