about

This song is less about any relationship that I have been in than what I have seen so many times observing other people. Maybe it is easier to see from the outside. So many people have their own personal Arab-Israel conflict. Fighting the same fight every day. Just like a Broken Record.

lyrics

Broken Record

I
Leave the coffee on
For you when I’m gone
Slip out without a word.

You.
Lost in a dream.
You wonder what it means
To be a broken record

And when we slip
Ain’t it funny how it skips
to “We can’t go on like this”
Then we start it over.

So I
Drown in rusty still
Live out a window well
Sing a song no one’s heard.

You
Say I’m to blame
It’s always the same
It’s just like a broken record

And when we slip
Ain’t it funny how it skips
to “We can’t go on like this”
Then we start it over.

I
Shuffle through the snow
Wondering where to go
Afraid to move forward

You
Lost in a screen
And a cell phone ring
That you never answer

And when we slip
Ain’t it funny how it skips
to “We can’t go on like this”
Then we start it over.

So I
Turn to head home
And close the phone
Without a word

You
Say I’m to blame
It’s always the same
It’s just like a broken record.
