Tom wrote this back when he was a freshman in college. It was kind of about a girl at the start, but then it was just ... about. Those are always the best songs anyway.

lyrics

With twenty bucks in my flannel coat
I’ll make my way up a rocky slope.
With every step, I lose another memory.

And pretty soon the altitude
Will take away all thoughts of you.
I’ll make a piñata of your letters.

Paper mache, The size is about right.
Machete by your bed at night.

I woke up on a mountain top.
I was falling fast and then I couldn’t stop.
The whole valley was coming up to greet me.

And pretty soon the altitude
Took away all thoughts of you.
You were standing there with broken arms and I could feel your love slip away,
And my heart was

Paper mache, The size is about right.
Machete by your bed at night.

Alright.
