Andrew Bird - The Naming Of Things

Andrew Bird

The Naming Of Things

You remind me of you
The way you shot right through and how
You broke my window glass, fast
It happened so fast
I have to confess that I
That I was impressed that I
Despite all the mess and the broken glass
I was impressed

Here's where I disappeared
Where I fell off the pier
And to be rescued I did wait
I watched waterbugs skate
As they draw figure eights as they draw
From the bottom of the lake as they draw
I watched waterbugs skate as they draw
Bottom of the lake I watched the waterbugs skate

Memories like mohair sweaters
Stretch and pill; faux distressed letters
Moose's horns and figure eights
White plastic bags in search of mates
What suffocates the land
In the memory of garbage can
Memory of garbage can

You can't be found when the bell rings
You weren't there that day for the naming of things
The naming of things
When the homeroom bell rings
The homeroom bell rings

Hey, just look at the mess you made today
You didn't really think it would get this bad
Hey, feel like you're living in a Russian play
Where it seems like you made everybody mad

You remind me of you
When you shot through
And broke my window glass
It happened so fast
I have to confess
I was impressed, I was impressed
Despite all the mess and the broken glass
I was impressed

Mirror lyrics:

I was impressed
Despite all the mess and the broken glass
I was impressed, I was impressed
I have to confess
It happened so fast
And broke my window glass
When you shot through
You remind me of you

Where it seems like you made everybody mad
Hey, feel like you're living in a Russian play
You didn't really think it would get this bad
Hey, just look at the mess you made today

The homeroom bell rings
When the homeroom bell rings
The naming of things
You weren't there that day for the naming of things
You can't be found when the bell rings

Memory of garbage can
In the memory of garbage can
What suffocates the land
White plastic bags in search of mates
Moose's horns and figure eights
Stretch and pill; faux distressed letters
Memories like mohair sweaters

Bottom of the lake I watched the waterbugs skate
I watched waterbugs skate as they draw
From the bottom of the lake as they draw
As they draw figure eights as they draw
I watched waterbugs skate
And to be rescued I did wait
Where I fell off the pier
Here's where I disappeared

I was impressed
Despite all the mess and the broken glass
That I was impressed that I
I have to confess that I
It happened so fast
You broke my window glass, fast
The way you shot right through and how
You remind me of you
