Ryan Adams, “Nuclear”
This is where the summer ends
In a flash of pure destruction, no one wins
Go nuclear. Nuclear.
The violets in my eyelids goin’ red
Sentimental geek
Shut up and go to sleep
The calm, the beach and the remains
Of the bathing suits and Porsches all in flames
Go nuclear. Nuclear.
When I saw her and the Yankees lost to the Braves
Sentimental geek
Shut up and go to sleep
Give me an answer
no wonder i like this song. it’s so surreal whenever i stumble upon a song that seems so accurately to describe from a distance some experience i had.
on a related note… i realised last night that i’m even avoiding her in my dreams. poor girl. i feel bad, but what else can i do? i certainly can’t go back in time and un-meet her. they say that every auto accident is in fact avoidable, for the singular reason that one does not absolutely have to get into a car and drive it. yet, for practicality’s sake, i propose that sometimes a person’s just gotta take certain risks. (why do guys always go back to car analogies? it’s like it’s in our blood or something.)
anyway, don’t groan at me. ’cause i’m cool. totally.
