anecdotes
"That's a reoccuring dream of mine - I still have those high school dreams. It's probably more about elementary school than high school. It's that sense of... I wonder if it ever goes away - I'm surprised that I'm 32 years old and that idea of "am I included in this group or not?" For me, that's several things. Do I fit into a certain eschelon of artists that I would like to be a part of? As a couple, do Natalie and I fit into a version of how it's supposed to be going when you're married? At the end of the day, all you can really do is make your own way and make your version of both of those situations because that's what makes them good. It's not that gratifying to follow someone else's model essentially." - interview, June 3 2006
lyrics
baby, they're choosing teams again
standing in line and wondering when
i know it's gonna hurt if our names aren't called out first
baby, i think we're old enough
to not be sweating that playground stuff
thank god the days are passed
i was so scared of being last
and we're not going to school today
got a broke down car and some bills unpaid
i only want to see you anyway
no, we're not going to school again
got a mess worth making and some rules to bend
i only want to see you

baby, i'm glad the days are gone
all the kids putting their new clothes on
i know the time is here
when you lay with your darkest fears
and we're not going to school today
got bun in the oven and some drinks to make
i only want to see you, anyway
no, we're not going to school again
there's a life worth living, why would we pretend?
i only want to see you
i only want to see you in the end
