And when you said I could not stay with you
That's not the way you would have wanted to be
Convince yourself that everything is alright
'Cos it already is

Don't sell your heart and break just anyone
I want to run with you through moorland fields
Convince yourself that everything is alright
'Cos it already is
'Cos it already is

So take your lessons hard and stay with him
When your car crash comes, don't be misled
Convince yourself that everything is alright
'Cos it already is
'Cos it already is

So take your lessons hard and stay with him
And when your car crash comes, don't be misled
Convince yourself that everything is alright
'Cos it already is
'Cos it already is

So take him home
So take him home
So take him home

Take him, Take him home
Take him, Take him home

Whiny, pathetic, devoid of emotion, soul and therefore appeal...

Pete Yorn's preference for endless repetitions of massively-distorted power chords do not endear him to me...

Like it... reminds me a little of Bowie.

Diggin' Mr. Yorn. He opened for The Dixie Chicks here once. Sounds odd I know, but it worked.

Pete Yorn went to Syracuse Go Orange! University, the town in which I live. In fact, I live about a mile from the school in the University neighborhood with students floating by the house day and night. Its cool to think that Pete Yorn probably walked by my house in the evenings, shopped in the same stores as I and generally soaked up the same essence of Syracuse as I. Nice singer, nice town.

"I think I'm on another world with you I'm on another planet with you" Ooops! Wrong song. Cody

saw him at the Khyber in Philly after this CD came out--was standing elbow-to-elbow--crazy fans--great show

It's just occurred to me that every Pete Yorn song I hear on RP grabs my attention and gets my feet tapping - no wonder my friends call me the slow thinker.

"Convince yourself and that everything is alright...cause it already is" Words to live by!

Chill, Hortman. It was just an opinion, not a personal threat to your belief system.
Syracuse? Doesn't that rhyme with 'cool it dudes'? Love and peace.

Saw him open for Crowded House in Edmonton. He sounded pretty good!

I care not to debate about why I love living in Syracuse and you obviously do not. If it doesn't suit you, move. Otherwise, quit your whining.

Maybe I would like this dude more if he didn't have to follow the Beatles. Tough spot to be in.

Hahaha - I was just about to say - hot/sexy man, great singer/performer... what more could a girl ask for?!

I love this tune, and I'd like it better if my jackass of an ex hadn't dedicated it to me. F*ckchops.

who is this mystery dj playing the non-stop hits?! can you do a shout out for 3 graphic designers working hard in marquette, mi (lisa, emily, sarah)? it would make our day.... but i guess if you can't the music already has :) keep it up

Don't even joke about that. There should be a lot more music this loud on RP. This station does not need to try and put me to sleep or get me depressed in the middle of the day... that's what drinking alone is for.

I yearn for more Yorn.

This is acceptable post-lover-partem indulgence. Love it.

No tune. Too boring. Agree with rayraspi, below.

phenomenal song. Maybe it is just that PY is phenomenal. I have become hooked in the last 10 months. I wish that RP had Murray. Just the most fun song on this album. J. Mascis and Dinosaur Jr. would be great additions.... I whole heartedly agree.

YEAH, kinda does. a real shame that RP doesn't play J. Mascis or Dinosaur Jr. i've tried sending some in...they never make the cut.

Not a big PY fan, but I find myself alway bebopping to the hook when I hear this one...

this cd is really good. not my favorite cut though. \"strange condition\" would go in that category.

Wow, haven\'t heard this one in ages! Thanks for digging it out of the bottom of the server Bill. Though don\'t play it too often :)

The stats above don\'t really support javaman\'s lowest common denomitator theory, unless he can prove the RP listeners who like this song are part of the LCD.
