Mountain Goats, The - The Recognition Scene Lyrics
We broke the doorknob off the door
The door swung open easily
We sauntered into the poorly-lit store
And looked around lazily
Gobbled it all up greedily on our three month ride
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
You headed out to the getaway car
And hit the open road
I saw something written in tall, clear letters on your face
But I could not break the code
We had hot caramel sticking to our teeth
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone

Mountain Goats, The The Recognition Scene Comments
why is this so powerful
we broke the doorknob off of the door.
the door swung open easily.
we sauntered into the poorly lit store,
and looked around lazily.
we stole every bit of candy they had inside.
gobbled it all up greedily on our 3 month ride.
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone.
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone.
you headed out to the getaway car
and hit the open road
I saw something written in tall clear letters on your face
but I could not break the code.
we had hot caramel sticking to our teeth
and the only love I've ever known burning underneath
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone.
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone.
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone.
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone.
this is one of my favorite songs ever made.
"This is a song about how there's a moment in every relationship where you look at the person you love and you think inside yourself: "Well, I don't actually love you anymore. What am I gonna do now? I don't want to say that, y'know, I mean what would happen if I said that?" Well, nothing would happen - right, I mean, you would just have a conversation, but you think inside yourself something disastrous will happen, so you don't say nothin'. Then it's next week, and you still feel the same way - now what are you going to do? Now you've spent a week living a terrible lie. So, well, you've already got a week invested, you might as well give it another year. That's what this song is about, it's called The Recognition Scene." -- 2003-06-27 - Mains D'oeuvres, Mofo Festival - Paris, France
and this is one of the many reasons as to why I adore the fucking shit out John Darnielle -- actively encourages the audience to bootleg his live shows cuz dude, so much lore is disclosed in such intimate settings.
The feelings
I don't know any better either, in that genre.
Arguably the best song ever about candy store burglaries
hot damn <333
the difference is that i miss you already
Clutnuckle thats the idea bubba
