Weird Divide Lyrics

Cover art for Weird Divide lyrics by Shins, The

I get the feeling of two kids entering their teens and how their relationship changes from an innocent friendship to having deeper feelings towards each other. It starts with them taking strolls together and walking to each other’s houses to hang out and it ends with the narrator noticing how time did good things to his friend (she’s matured and he sees her differently). The weird divide could be that point in adolescence when the differences between boys and girls often become more apparent and it’s not as easy to just play/enjoy each other’s company anymore. Beautiful song and it has been one of favorites for years.
