lyrics
Not saying I want to be together now
Just wish we didn’t wait so goddamn long
Cause just as you and I were getting closer
I turned around and you were gone
On a cold September night
Listening to Big Star
Staring into the fire
Drinking in the backyard
As Alex Chilton crooned a melancholy melody
You leaned into me
Not saying I want to be together now
Just wish we didn’t wait so goddamn long
Cause just as you and I were getting closer
I turned around and you were gone
Not saying I want to be together now
Just wish we didn’t wait so goddamn long
Cause just as you and I were getting closer
I turned around and you were gone
Three weeks later
All your records splayed out
Packing your books into boxes
Getting ready to leave town
Like a Tarantino film
That starts with the ending
I don’t know what I was expecting
Not saying I want to be together now
Just wish we didn’t wait so goddamn long
Cause just as you and I were getting closer
I turned around and you were gone
Not saying I want to be together now
Just wish we didn’t wait so goddamn long
Cause just as you and I were getting closer
I turned around and you were gone
Not saying I want to be together now
Just wish we didn’t wait so goddamn long
Cause just as you and I were getting closer
I turned around and you were gone
Not saying I want to be together now
Just wish we didn’t wait so goddamn long
Cause just as you and I were getting closer
I turned around and you were gone
Just wish we didn’t wait so goddamn long
Cause just as you and I were getting closer
I turned around and you were gone
On a cold September night
Listening to Big Star
Staring into the fire
Drinking in the backyard
As Alex Chilton crooned a melancholy melody
You leaned into me
Not saying I want to be together now
Just wish we didn’t wait so goddamn long
Cause just as you and I were getting closer
I turned around and you were gone
Not saying I want to be together now
Just wish we didn’t wait so goddamn long
Cause just as you and I were getting closer
I turned around and you were gone
Three weeks later
All your records splayed out
Packing your books into boxes
Getting ready to leave town
Like a Tarantino film
That starts with the ending
I don’t know what I was expecting
Not saying I want to be together now
Just wish we didn’t wait so goddamn long
Cause just as you and I were getting closer
I turned around and you were gone
Not saying I want to be together now
Just wish we didn’t wait so goddamn long
Cause just as you and I were getting closer
I turned around and you were gone
Not saying I want to be together now
Just wish we didn’t wait so goddamn long
Cause just as you and I were getting closer
I turned around and you were gone
Not saying I want to be together now
Just wish we didn’t wait so goddamn long
Cause just as you and I were getting closer
I turned around and you were gone

The whole first 8 tracks are absolutely great...playing the record again and again ... like a lost great Teenage Fanclub album from the late 90s
