deer tick

i l-o-v-e, love this band. saw deer tick play tonight. i think i fall in love every time i see them because tonight, i'm in love (again). the lead singer, john mccauly, closed up the show tonight on his own with this lovely song: 



daydreaming lyrics quick transcription:
early in the morning, too hungover to go back to sleep.
every sound is amplified, every light so dizzying.
listen for a while to the neighbors having sex.
wish that i could lay my aching head upon your breast.
can't i dream another dream, can't i close my eyes and wander back to sleep?
but i'm day dreaming about you
i know that it's wrong that i'm day dreaming about you.
i've been day dreamin for so long.

bloody mary afternoon, waste my time out in the sun.
humm myself some melody maybe i could sing you one.
maybe i could find you sitting down at the cafe
maybe i could join you at your table today.
can't i just get what i want?
can't i be the man that steals away your heart?

but i'm day dreaming about you.
i know that it's wrong that i'm day dreaming about you.
because i've been day dreaming for so long.
i've been day dreaming for so long. l

later in the evening take the bus down to see the show.
you'll be behind the bar i'll get a beer leave a tip and lay low.
i'm just a kid who gets his drinks from you stands around and doesn't have a clue.
can't i hold you close to me?
can't i ever say to you just what i mean?
but i'm day dreaming about you
i know that it's wrong that i'm day dreaming about you.
i've been day dreaming for so long i've been day dreaming for so long.
