Centennial Lyrics - Elephant Shell - Tokyo Police Club

This is skin 

You can wrap all of your arms and legs in 

An address that you know 

An envelope unfolds 

I'm writing to catch up 

We were small when we last met 

But the letters are unread 

She's heard it on cassette 

Taught to read and write 

At such an early age 

Passenger still 

She's got books on tape 

I'm running to catch up to that old VW 

They're leaning out the back 

You've never heard of fiction 

You've never heard of fact 

Way back when 

We met 'cause my parents 

Knew your parents 

Steady hands, easy friends 

All these designs 

Parading on the rooftops 

All of this time, little kids 

Intrepids 

I'm running out of space 

So let me sum this up for you 

I'm only wishing well though you won't believe me 

This coming Thursday evening is our centennial
