Songs You Skipped 25 Years Ago (Say So Much) (Featuring Eli Moore)

from Needs Help (Deluxe Edition) by The Very Most

/

lyrics

I'm in my cube and I'm gettin' all choked up
Listening to Michael Stipe
Talking to someone on an NPR podcast
Hoping no one passes by.
I didn't know that I loved anything after Green.
Guess I do!

I was sixteen when Automatic came out.
I didn't rate it so high.
Now when I hear it, I can barely keep composed.
Yeah, even when I hear “Drive.”
All of these songs that I skipped as a kid are killing me.
So weird.

25 years may as well be a billion.
When you're at work it's not a good idea to hear
A song you haven't heard for a billion years.

When you're sixteen and you're me and you're sheltered
For all you know, no one hurts.
What seemed really trite's now so real you can't take it.
And crying at work is the worst.

What do I say when my co-worker comes up to me?
"Sorry dude, R.E.M.'s really good."
