lyrics

Just like they took away the Polaroid picture
They're gonna take away everything that means something
Today I think I saw ten thousand cellphones
But not one decent conversation
I know that you've had the worst winter
But that doesn't mean it won't get better
Just keep on listening to Jet's to Brazil
And maybe you'll find a way to change
(Chorus:)
I'm gonna write you a letter, hope you feel okay x4
The dead claps of a typewriter
Are like the poems of E.E. Cummings
You and me we from the same damn place
The one where you can hold it in your hand
When I first met you we were pen pals
And now you're the only one left
So keep on reading those Eckhart books
And know that I am here for you
(Chorus)
You know what they say about panda bears
They're carnivorous, and willing to learn
And I like that you're a panda bear
And I like the way that you write
So keep on listening to Sunny Day Real Estate
And know that you don't gotta change
(Chorus)

I've never loved an album the way I love "Roll the Bones." I've been a rabid fan of Shakey's for 6.5 years, and I can honestly say I love everything he has ever put out...but nothing hits quite like this record. This album, in my opinion, is defined by warmth, familiarity, and raw emotion that it elicits. Lindsay Davison
