lyrics

Mary isn’t the girl I thought I’d be with
When I traded vows at the altar
She’s not even the one that I meant to phone
when I thought the “5” in that number was “4”

I was only talking about the weather
When I said things were getting rough
By my estimations this disaster
Was something I just never would’ve dreamed of

I remember the times when she used to laugh
Just to make me feel like a joker
In the end it was I pretending to smile
When her insincere sense of humor had died

Bathing in the alcoholic sunlight
Warms imperfect memories
When my common sense
No longer burns bright
Could explain the feeling that I’m

Waiting around in the dark
You’ve been busy making a fool of my heart
But if you want to love me then you should be around

Mary isn’t the girl I thought I’d be with
But now I feel alone when without her
She’s not even the one I thought that she was
When I wondered what in the hell I had done

Indifferent to all the cars and stoplights
While I was barely driving by
When my common sense no longer works right
Could explain the feeling that I’m

Waiting around in the dark

Looking at our past in perfect focus
Makes the imperfections
Seem so obvious
And more ridiculous

Soon after, old pals Chuck Andrada & Eric Vislay joined up. The ten songs on the album showcase the band's versatility and disdain for genre pigeonholing. From power pop to country to lounge music, Quitter leaves the categorizing to its listeners. ... more
