Ice-age heat wave, can't complain. If the world's at large, why should I remain? Walked away to another plan. Gonna find another place, maybe one I can stand. I move on to another day, to a whole new town with a whole new way. Went to the porch to have a tought. Got to the door and again, I couldn't stop. You don't know where and you don't know when. But you still got your words and you got your friends. Walk along to another day. Work a little harder, work another way. Well uh-uh baby I ain't got no plan. We'll float on maybe would you understand? Gonna float on baby maybe would you understand? Well float on maybe would you understand? They days get shorter and the nights get cold. I like the autumn but this place is getting old. I pack up my belongings and I head for the coast. It might not be a lot but I feel like I'm making the most. The days get longer and the nights smell green. I guess it's not surprising but it's spring and I should leave. I like songs about drifters-books about the same. They both seem to make me feel a little less insane. Walked on off to another spot. I still haven't got anywhere that I want. Did I want love? Did I need to know? Why does it alwaysit always feeel like I'm caught in an undertow? The moths beat themselves to death against the lights. Sdding their breeze to the summer nights. Outside, water like air was great. I didn't know what I had that day. Walk a little farther to another plan. You said that you did, but you didn't understand. I know that starting over is not what life's about. But my thoughts were so loud I couldn't hear my mouth. My thoughts were so loud.
This song sort of snuck up on me. I actually stopped and listened, really listened. The sort of listening that makes you think and the sort of thinking that can make you cry. The words are good and the music is beautiful. Cool song.
modest mouse is by far one of the best bands of all time. not just because of their jumpy sound but their kyrics that make so much since if you think about them for a while. honestly though, their new album kinda over rated them, but it is pretty good. modest mouse will always remain the best band ever in my book. (and yes, the moon and antarctica is the best album) haha. HOLLER!
they could really make a college class about just trying to figure out what Modest Mouse lyrics mean and what he was trying to say and what frame of mind he was in during that time....i would take that class.....
