I left out the fills that he uses in this song that sort of double the vocal melody at points. listen to recording to figure them out. Enjoy you remind me of you the way you shot right through and how you broke my window glass fast it happened so fast I have to confess that I that I was impressed that I that I was impressed that i despite all the mess and the broken glass I was impressed (Same Chords as above) here’s where I disappeared where I fell off the pier and to.. and to be rescued I did wait I watched waterbugs skate as they draw figure eights as they draw from the bottom of the lake as they draw I watched waterbugs skate as they draw From the bottom of the lake I watched the waterbugs skate memories like mohair sweaters stretched and pilled faux distressed letters moose’s horns and figure eights white plastic bags in search of mates what suffocates the land in the memory of garbage can memory of garbage can Chorus you can’t be found when the bell rings you weren’t there that day for the naming of things the naming of things The naming of things where the homeroom bell rings the homeroom bell rings Solo- x4 1234 hey just look at the mess you made today didn’t really think it would get this bad hey feel like you’re living in a Russian play where it seems like you made everybody mad (Same Chords as Verse 1) you remind me of you when you shot through and broke my window glass it happened so fast I have to confess I was impressed I was impressed despite all the mess and the broken glass I was impressed Repeat chorus Chorus you can’t be found when the bell rings you weren’t there that day for the naming of things the naming of things The naming of things where the homeroom bell rings the homeroom bell rings Its the naming of things the naming of-- Fade out on E

La chanson évoque des souvenirs complexes mêlés à des émotions fortes, reflet d'une rupture soudaine et brutale. L’artiste parle de moments où il a été impressionné par la rapidité de certains événements, malgré le désordre qu'ils engendrent. Les images de la nature, avec des insectes glissant sur l’eau, contrastent avec des souvenirs plus douloureux et chaotiques, symbolisés par des objets abandonnés. Le contexte semble tourner autour d'une période de perte et de désillusion, marquée par un sentiment d'absence, comme si quelque chose d’essentiel échappait à la compréhension. Les références à une cloche d'école qui sonne évoquent le passage du temps et le regret d'être absent lors d'événements marquants, soulignant ainsi un manque de connexion avec des moments décisifs de la vie.
