Owen the ghost of what shouldve been lyrics

Another great song. I thought it was interesting how ruben set up the format of the lyrics. I am still wondering what the one week is counting down to and how he is going to be going after the time elapses. General Comment I'm assuming he is moving out of an apartment that he shared with someone. General Comment i love the line "what else in this fucking empty room reminds me of fucking you?

General Comment I think this song is about ending a long relationship, but hey arnet all the songs on here General Comment When I saw him live he was playing in a church. He changed the lyrics in the 3rd stanza from "What else in this fucking empty room reminds me of fucking you? Needless to say, it was awesome. Man all I can say about it is that Mike Kinsella still have the fellings of all of us General Comment hm General Comment i think it's about the woman he was living with herself.

General Comment i really dont the line about the tables is metaphorical. I'm willing to bet its just something that really happened with this girl. He made a table that they kept magazines and what not on and one day it collapsed while she had her legs resting on it. Same with the avocado and couch lines. The only metaphor would be the ghost line and he's just saying that she still haunts the place because so many things make him think of her.

The windowsill Where the crucified pit of an avocado Still sits in water What else in this room Reminds me of the relationship I've ruined The tables I made Strong enough to hold your magazines But not your tired legs One more week in this apartment One more week of being haunted By the ghost of what should have been What else in this fucking empty room Reminds me of fucking you?

The orphaned couch Where I spent some long nights While you went out with our friends What I wouldn't do to be A ghost like you, to be Somewhere new To leave everything The way you left everything That reminded you of me One more week in this apartment One more week of being haunted.
