Alphabetizing
John Darnielle
[Verse 1]
The summer crawled by indetectably
And then I saw you looking down to me
And your earrings sparkled in the noon-day sun
And though it's very true that I love everyone
With every ounce of energy left in me
I love you especially because
[Chorus]
I saw you, coming through
The screen door on the second floor
Up on the balcony
[Verse 2]
It was hard to even see you at all
Because the air was thick with alcohol
So I kept on rubbing my eyes
For all the good it did me
For all the immeasurable good it did me
Let the years come and take away my memory
I will not forget the shock that ran through me when
[Chorus]
I saw you, coming through
The screen door on the second floor
Up on the balcony
