It's Not Explained, It's Delaware

Virginia shocked us, throwing stones in desperation
It was like we didn’t know you anymore
You kept your glasses in a box when I first met you
And you asked me if I’d ever bombed before
Soon enough you’d taken spray paint to the schoolyard
In the quiet of the car the evening loomed
At the most it was an esoteric moment
At the least I should have known that I was doomed
It’s not explained, it’s Delaware
And it’s enough to make your friends think that I’m smug but I don’t care
It’s not explained, it’s Delaware
Disco Caesar Rodney shouting turn it up and turn it up
But no, don’t, don’t
Before you asked if you could color me for Wednesday
I’d have never though you’d ever look my way
A different tone, a different trend, a different look
A different week, a different boy, a different day
It’s not explained, it’s Delaware
And it’s enough to make your friends think that I’m smug but I don’t care
It’s not explained, it’s Delaware
Disco Caesar Rodney shouting turn it up and turn it up
But no, don’t, don’t
Deeply droll and mostly raised on false assumptions
In a fossil mix of punk and lemonade
You wore the socks but you were still less optimistic
And eventually the easy days would fade
I hadn’t noticed all the records you’d been playing
Except for Nervous Twitch «You Met Somebody Else»
That’s when Rehoboth caught me squarely on the shoulder
It’s the fickle heart that almost always melts
It’s not explained, it’s Delaware
And it’s enough to make your friends think that I’m smug but I don’t care
It’s not explained, it’s Delaware
Disco Caesar Rodney shouting turn it up and turn it up
But no, don’t, don’t
Pratt tie, rinse dye, with eyes on Bedford Stuy
We don’t recognize Virginia
Hearts cling, hips swing, ill at ease we sing
We don’t recognize Virginia
A charming invitation in a hold me tight creation years ago
