lyrics
In the bathroom again, this time at the office
Hoping nobody asks where you are
You know you can’t quit, but you hope you get fired
Still you fear your career will go far
You’re singing along to the voice that you’re hearing
Until you realize there’s nobody there
So you run outside and you shout at the marquee
Until it tells you to go whine elsewhere
You zip up your backpack and get in position
To start your bid for the Olympic games
But the bomb in the village would leave people crying
And your bronze medal would rust in the rain
The children are daunting, the playground is haunting
And you cannot step a foot in the hall
So you’re dancing alone inside the little girls’ room
Doing a pirouette for the stalls
You know your worth
You can paint it in pictures
You wrote the book
But never typed a thing
It’s just the memory
Of the life that is gone
Although you know
It never went away

NSPS is…

Withered Hand is quieter and more straight-forward than NSPS, but shares a certain outlook. Dan Willson is one of the best songwriters around—he can make you smile and tear up in the same rhyme. NSPS
In addition to making me feel better by taking (almost?) as long as NSPS to finish a new album, swo17 washes over you with rich sonic textures. Become one with the music. NSPS
