I read an interview with Agnus where he said this particular song he wrote as if he was talking to Hemphill, and how he misses both Aaron and their wildly creative partnership and friendship. He feels bereft now (but says their parting was amicable) The closing outro lyrics especially clarify how...
[Verse 1]
Pieces of things that we can't figure out
Piles of clothes that we never wear
Maybe insane but we never shared a doubt
[Verse 2]
Still, we're hiding our heads and our thoughts in the sand
Waiting right there for the fair
Worried we're counting on Marilyn's looks alone
[Chorus]
It's a boundary
That we're bound to cross
It's a boundary
That we're bound to cross
[Verse 3]
People are strings that we never untie
Walk in reverse so we're always there
Try to explain but the train never stops for us
[Verse 4]
And they're shoving their hands in their pockets to hide
Banging on drums in the heat
Thinking they'll never stop, wishing their borders held
[Chorus]
It's a boundary
That we're bound to cross
It's a boundary
That we're bound to cross
When I wake up
And I feel tall
I will take a part in it
If I grow up and I find them
I will take the benefit
[Chorus]
It's a boundary
That we're bound to cross
It's a boundary
That we're bound to cross
[Outro]
Okay, that's it, that's all the songs I really like. Um, so I hope that you're not burning out, and I hope that you have a really great break. And I'm thinking of you all the time.
Was that kinda close?
