You Were Just the Best That I Could Do, Back Then 02:20
lyrics
all the big things (the biggest things, at the time) talked about in several years of traffic I would kiss and tell you; you would kiss and tell me we were mutually periphery… well, just what kind of outlay does this thing require, friend? it might be five minutes? (God forbid it could be ten…) but instead you’re John Cage on the radio waves again! seems like you were just the best that I could do, back then all the big things (the biggest things, at the time) when you’re fifteen, they are invariably tragic but there were things in my jeans; you had those strange magazines and we would keep the corners of the discos warm… but now, you hold me in abeyance firmly at wit’s end you’re oh-so-feckless, you don’t even know how to pretend and nowadays, I’ve better things to do than wait on men! sadly, you were just the best that I could do back then nowadays, there’s better things to do than wait on men! oh sadly, you were just the best that I could do, back then
