about

Ryan wrote this as a birthday song for Rachel.

Ryan - piano at the end
Ken Mahru - vocal help

The lyrics at the end of this song all appear in songs from our EP to create a retrospective feel.

lyrics

If this cliff kills
how could I survive
For a steep climb, twenty-nine is a long time
And if you keep score
Pay attention to the part when they sing
"and many more"

Don't you want to leave this place
Speeding passed a complicated case
Don't you want to finish what's in play
Breaking down those idols

If you look through books
to see what you can become
Unless you taste it
The recipe was the wrong one
I was proud of you because you didn't quit
You were wishing you could be an average kid

Your roommate said that they looked good there
The flowers that I bought you wound up drying on the mantle
Non-plussed, but romanced by the boy who couldn't dance
But you will be repaid

Catch me slipping into the crowd around aroud
A souvenir I could hang on the wall
It was the longest day of the shortest month
If we could only fix time
Then you would be the love of mine
