Favorite song, rediscovered

In Ireland, Elaine introduced me to some of the best music I've ever heard. Over and over she would share a song with me, and I felt like I was slowly coming alive. Perhaps it was because, in reality, I was beginning to emerge from the years of depression that blacked out my past, but ever since I've felt that many of these songs define me in certain ways.

Here are the lyrics to one of the best songs from that era - Fall 2003.

The Postal Service - "Nothing Better"

Will someone please call a surgeon
Who can crack my ribs and repair this broken heart
That you're deserting for better company
I can't accept that it's over...
And I will block the door like a goalie tending the net
In the third quarter of a tied-game rivalry

So just say how to make it right
And I swear I'll do my best to comply

Tell me am I right to think that there could be nothing better
Than making you my bride and slowly growing old together?

I feel i must interject here...
You've getting carried away feeling sorry for yourself
With these revisions and gaps in history
So let me help you remember.
I've made charts and graphs that should finally make it clear.
I've prepared a lecture on why I have to leave
So please back away and let me go
(**This verse is by far my very favorite**)

I can't my darling I love you so...
But oh, oh...

Tell me am I right to think that there could be nothing better
Than making you my bride and slowly growing old together?

Don't you feed me lies about some idealistic future
Your heart won't heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures

I know that I have made mistakes and I swear
I'll never wrong you again

You've got allure I can't deny,
But you've had your chance so say goodbye
Say goodbye
