I took your notes and burned them
I tore the pages and threw them away
I'm not gonna need them
Not when you're too afraid to stay
Nothing goes as planned
It all gets torn to pieces
Nothing goes as planned
Though sometimes you can't see it
Put them back together
I took my suit out of the closet
The one I thought I'd never wear again
I put my roses on her casket
My heart was empty even then
Nothing goes as planned
It all gets torn to pieces
Nothing goes as planned
Though sometimes you can't see it
Put them back together
I check the days off as they slip away
I see my pages going blank
With all these people who have bothered to stay
Maybe I can hope for roses on my grave
Nothing goes as planned
It all gets torn to pieces
Nothing goes as planned
Though sometimes you can't see it
Put them... BOOM CRASH BANG

Stephen did the pretties and the clunkies.
Jaron did the messies and he loved her.
Thematic, majestic and beautiful. A whole series of albums from Rogue Valley concern themselves with love, nostalgia, and the landscape of America. Currently one of my favourite things these days. Jaron Eldon
