Jeremy Lyrics - The Magnetic Fields

We were young like the future, we were young and always wrong 

We were young like our country, learning old ways to be young 

Random driving around with you in my dilapidated car 

Like Isadora Duncan II in impossibly long white scarves 

Autumn leaves, diaries, Tennessee and Jeremy 

Suddenly, willow trees, memories of Jeremy 

Like a Galapagos turtle, we grow old and stay that way 

Build a nest in the sand dunes, lay our eggs and walk away 

I was writing our dreams down, making maps of an unseen plane 

And I noticed anomalies that you'd rather not see explained 

Autumn leaves, diaries, Tennessee and Jeremy 

Suddenly, willow trees, memories of Jeremy
