i was coming down
don't know what i mean
i was coming from left field
but you're a liar girl
you can see right through me
and i don't recognize my mouth

the mumbling years
the mumbling years

dream of sweetheart
electric at dawn
don't think you're coming 'round any more
turn into you
i'll turn back into me
false starts are all that keep coming out

and it's not ours to keep
so we wear it on our sleeve

the mumbling years
the mumbling years

like clothes you out grow
like water from snow
one more goodbye song

cause it's not ours to keep
so we wear it on our sleeve
it's not ours to keep

the mumbling years
the mumbling years
the mumbling years
the mumbling years
