There's an X that marks the spot
Where you and I first met one day
I don't think that I could find it
But still we stand here anyway
On the corner of the world
In the core deep in your heart
There's a memory of pleasant afternoons
And lights rising for a new day about to start
The smells of gasoline and flowers
Rising from windows outside
Oceans turning on their heads
The world is shrinking, the world is wide
Where good friends come to meet you
You'll always land on your feet
Where there's hope, and pain, and joy
You'll find the music on the street
On the streets of my hometown
Where the children used to play
You'll find Sunday jeans and magazines
And they're all waiting for me
There's this place across our town
Where we could go, and we could meet
Where the full force of the future
Crashes its body into me
I won't stumble, I won't shake
I'll watch the world as it bends
In the eyes of a girl you love
The oceans never seem to end
And the flowers in your hair
Seem to grow into strong trees
You'll find stones unturned and hate adjourned
And they're all waiting for me

Sometimes

It’s worth my time
In times like these
To ask for something
I think I need
Friends fall
From the sky
To introduce me
To some foreign guy
And I have to look away sometimes
To say the things on my mind
But when I have to stop and catch my breath
I still rest my head on your chest
Crystal clear
You’ll see me
But that’s how
I want to be
When you don’t care
I don’t too
It hurts my head
I know you know the truth
But I have to look away sometimes
To say the things on my mind
I have to look away sometimes
Searching for something that I cannot find
I know you know the truth

Niagra

If I took a weekend
And ran away from this place
Would the guard rails on the highway
Keep me from falling off the road into space
I could drive to Niagra
In under a day
And the falls shine and roar
In a special way
The water reminds me of a time long ago
Staring into the river
While the rain felt like snow
Do you believe in heaven
Not a tear from my eyes
While the ashes float away
With the river's tides
If I took a summer
And ran away
Would anyone in the town
Rise up and take my place

Beat the Champ

Only John Darnielle could make an album about bloody and gimmicky wrestling as touching and beautiful. Amazing storytelling.

Outstanding vocal delivery and emotion shine through on Hop Along's sophomore release. Perfect if you dig female vocals.
