Lesser Matters

The Radio Dept. Lesser Matters Lyrics
1.Too Soon

You will have us figured out soon
Too soon
You will have to leave
For a new love
A new love somewhere else

But stick around for as long as you like
We will be here
Spend some time in the sun


2.Where Damage Isn't Already Done

You are raining in
I can't escape that feeling
You're dripping into the buckets I have placed
Where damage isn't already done

I saw you on bus 15
Heading north to take the train
Everyone looks the same
Still we have different names


3.Keen On Boys

Already dead
So kill my head
There's a sun in his eyes
It won't go away
I'm already dead
Why is it I can't kill my

He would never sleep
Said I didn't mind it at all
Made me feel quite cheap
Looking back on it all
Then there was this kiss
He said that he couldn't resist
And was I aware of what I missed?

That night I slept on his couch
With my back turned to the wall
Nothing assumed but you know?
You know
In the morning we said nothing at all
All I could think of was this
He said that he couldn't resist
And was I aware of what I missed?


4.Its Been Eight Years

It's been eight years
I'd like to travel through time
But I can't do that
I never knew that good experiences
Could cause a pain like this
I want something that I can't have

I close my eyes and someone is calling my name
I lean over the window pane
And in the distance I can just about catch a glimpse of us
We had a ball
We had it all


5.Bus

You need to take that bus
Goodbyes aren't all that good
Mother is in a mess
What are you gonna do if nothing happens?

Nothing happens
Nothing happens
Nothing happens around here any more

Leaving the girls behind
Goodbyes aren't all that good
Daddy says you'll be fine
But what is he gonna say if nothing happens?

7.1995

1995 is missing buses
It's walking 15 miles to see your love
It's knowing you're alive through all the fuzz
It's never coming down from going up

1995 is cutting classes
It's sitting over coffees talking indie treats
It's the mere sensation of being the first one that you see
When morning opens up the skies
You see me when daylight opens up your eyes

And though I'm happier now I always long somehow
Back to 1995

All my friends have different plans to make their lives worth
while
Some for the better
Some for worse
Some have gone to different cities searching every mile
For missing pieces that will make a whole

1995 seems like a long way to go
If you ever were to find your way back home
But the only thing I really miss is being the first one that
you see
When morning opens up the skies
You see me when daylight opens up your eyes


8.Against The Tide

Falling against what you know
Falling against the tide
Oh what you want
Is it what you want?
Is this what you want?

Because we are young
And things are wrong
We'll lose the chains
We'll make things right
Before the sun goes down on
And out of sight
We'll lose the chains
Cause you and I
We move against the tide


9.Strange Things Will Happen

Today was a pretty day
No disappointments
No expectations on your whereabouts
And oh, did I let you go?
Did it finally show that strange things will happen if you let
them?

Today I didn't even try to hide
I'll stay here and never push things to the side
You can't reach me cause I'm way beyond you today

Today was a pretty day
Autumn comes with
These slight surprises where your life might twist and turn
Hope to unlearn
Strange things will happen
If you let them come around and stick around

Today I didn't even try to hide
I'll stay here and never push things to the side
Today I didn't even look to find
Something to put me in that peace of mind
You can't touch me cause I'm way beyond you today


10.Your Father

The fire caught us burning with desire to get out in the open
My daddy had a camera and he caught a few moments to
show them
The fire took us higher
We were hoping to expire when you came in
With water

We were only kids when we first laid eyes on eachother
Everything was great but you should have warned me about
your father
At first he took the crap
But I soon learned not to even bother
With your father

Now that you're away I'm jerking off every day to your
memory
You finding someone else was a real blow
Who will defend me?
I'm drinking every day but try to behave the same way I did
before
But it's hard
It's oh so hard


11.Lost And Found

I'm scared when I'm at home
In my apartment on my own
It's changing colours through the day
It don't bother me when I'm ok

But now when all is changed around
I'm buried in the lost and found

I like to watch things on tv
And tell your ghost to let me be
I know I can choose a different life
And be off with you tonight

But where you are going I cannot follow
I know you hate this but I hold on
To this life that I embrace
Despite amusements that I chase
So I'll see you some day
I'll see you some day
See you some day
