You know that guy Who swept your girlfriend off her feet and out of your arms In the summer between the sixth and the seventh grade You know how his name sits in your brain like a tumor And how his bright eyes shine in your memory Even now Let it bug you if you really want to but Friend, let me assure you he's gonna die You can take it to the bank that he's gonna die some day He's gonna die Maybe a few years before you do Maybe a few years later What does it matter in the long run You know that girl who you told your secrets to back in high school The one who faithfully broadcast all of them Throughout the generous pool of your mutual acquaintances And made it sound like you were psycho And in need of professional help Yes yes, yes you do remember Well you can carry that grudge or you can let it go But as sure as I'm singing this song you know She's gonna die She's gonna die, yeah she will Five'll get you ten, she'll meet the same undignified end That I will, and you will And everyone we know It may happen twenty years down the line Or it may happen an hour from now What does it matter What does it matter in the long run Everyone who's done you wrong Everyone who's done you favors Everyone you like, everyone you can't stand the sight of What does it matter What does it matter in the long run
holy fuck i love his voice so much
that's what john vanderslice called the song when he released it.
You know that guy
Who swept your girlfriend off her feet and out of your arms
In the summer between the sixth and the seventh grade
You know how his name sits in your brain like a tumor
And how his bright eyes shine in your memory
Even now
Let it bug you if you really want to but
Friend, let me assure you he's gonna die
You can take it to the bank that he's gonna die some day
He's gonna die
Maybe a few years before you do
Maybe a few years later
What does it matter in the long run
You know that girl who you told your secrets to back in high school
The one who faithfully broadcast all of them
Throughout the generous pool of your mutual acquaintances
And made it sound like you were psycho
And in need of professional help
Yes yes, yes you do remember
Well you can carry that grudge or you can let it go
But as sure as I'm singing this song you know
She's gonna die
She's gonna die, yeah she will
Five'll get you ten, she'll meet the same undignified end
That I will, and you will
And everyone we know
It may happen twenty years down the line
Or it may happen an hour from now
What does it matter
What does it matter in the long run
Everyone who's done you wrong
Everyone who's done you favors
Everyone you like, everyone you can't stand the sight of
What does it matter
What does it matter in the long run
my favorite flavor of optimistic nihilism
You might want to throw in a tag on this song for "Nikki oh Nikki" so that others who don't go on reddit can find it easily
