And when you said I could not stay with you
That's not the way you would have wanted to be
Convince yourself that everything is alright
'Cos it already is

Don't sell your heart and break just anyone
I want to run with you through moorland fields
Convince yourself that everything is alright
'Cos it already is
'Cos it already is

So take your lessons hard and stay with him
When your car crash comes, don't be misled
Convince yourself that everything is alright
'Cos it already is
'Cos it already is

So take your lessons hard and stay with him
And when your car crash comes, don't be misled
Convince yourself that everything is alright
'Cos it already is
'Cos it already is

So take him home
So take him home
So take him home

Take him, Take him home
Take him, Take him home

Me, too, he's GROOOOOOVY!  {#Daisy}
Whiny, pathetic, devoid of emotion, soul and therefore appeal... 
Pete Yorn's preference for endless repetitions of massively-distorted power chords do not endear him to me...

damn, i just love this song.

still do. but now for a different reason, too....

Like it... reminds me a little of Bowie.

Diggin' Mr. Yorn. He opened for The Dixie Chicks here once. Sounds odd I know, but it worked.

Pete Yorn went to Syracuse Go Orange! University, the town in which I live. In fact, I live about a mile from the school in the University neighborhood with students floating by the house day and night. Its cool to think that Pete Yorn probably walked by my house in the evenings, shopped in the same stores as I and generally soaked up the same essence of Syracuse as I. Nice singer, nice town.
"I think I'm on another world with you I'm on another planet with you" Ooops! Wrong song. Cody
saw him at the Khyber in Philly after this CD came out--was standing elbow-to-elbow--crazy fans--great show
It's just occurred to me that every Pete Yorn song I hear on RP grabs my attention and gets my feet tapping - no wonder my friends call me the slow thinker.
"Convince yourself and that everything is alright...cause it already is" Words to live by!
damn, i just love this song.

Chill, Hortman. It was just an opinion, not a personal threat to your belief system.
Syracuse? Doesn't that rhyme with 'cool it dudes'? Love and peace.
Saw him open for Crowded House in Edmonton. He sounded pretty good!

I care not to debate about why I love living in Syracuse and you obviously do not. If it doesn't suit you, move. Otherwise, quit your whining.

cool song, I think
Maybe I would like this dude more if he didn't have to follow the Beatles. Tough spot to be in.

delicious. both the song and the singer.
Hahaha - I was just about to say - hot/sexy man, great singer/performer... what more could a girl ask for?!
I love this tune, and I'd like it better if my jackass of an ex hadn't dedicated it to me. F*ckchops.

i love pete yorn, but he needs more songs on rp! especially from this album.
delicious. both the song and the singer.
Just finished a full night-shift and this has cleared the old brain cells. Message from over the water,England.
who is this mystery dj playing the non-stop hits?! can you do a shout out for 3 graphic designers working hard in marquette, mi (lisa, emily, sarah)? it would make our day.... but i guess if you can't the music already has :) keep it up

Don't even joke about that. There should be a lot more music this loud on RP. This station does not need to try and put me to sleep or get me depressed in the middle of the day... that's what drinking alone is for.
I yearn for more Yorn.
A very complete record, good disc for the the road.
This is acceptable post-lover-partem indulgence. Love it.
Feel good about getting you ass dumped! poor nancy...

Those thieving bastards. Which one? I need more reasons to despise that new CD.

Sorry, rocks too hard, not eclectic
lots of things Bill plays rock very hard. dinosaur jr and mascis ARE definitely eclectic.

J. Mascis and Dinosaur Jr. would be great additions.... I whole heartedly agree.

excellent song...one of my favs...if you like this song! whole album is great!!!!!
Cool
Incredible song. Brilliant lyrics nuff said.
nice tune
No tune. Too boring. Agree with rayraspi, below.
phenomenal song. Maybe it is just that PY is phenomenal. I have become hooked in the last 10 months. I wish that RP had Murray. Just the most fun song on this album. J. Mascis and Dinosaur Jr. would be great additions.... I whole heartedly agree.

Reminds me of Dinosaur Jr. a little.
YEAH, kinda does. a real shame that RP doesn't play J. Mascis or Dinosaur Jr. i've tried sending some in...they never make the cut.
kick ass.
Not a big PY fan, but I find myself alway bebopping to the hook when I hear this one...
Reminds me of Dinosaur Jr. a little.
Two thumbs up!
this cd is really good. not my favorite cut though. \"strange condition\" would go in that category.
Love this tune, never knew the name. I\'ll have to take note!
Wow, haven\'t heard this one in ages! Thanks for digging it out of the bottom of the server Bill. Though don\'t play it too often :)
The stats above don\'t really support javaman\'s lowest common denomitator theory, unless he can prove the RP listeners who like this song are part of the LCD.

Cool song. Good to hear a couple of rockers today.
