Staving off rejection, which always hurt like hell
I took the devil's bargain, made a stranger of myself
If anything was wrong, I couldn’t tell
So I didn't see it coming but now it's pretty clear
I traded my own wisdom for a jury of my peers
I ignored you for thirty years
You don’t have to tell me
How hard it must have been
For you to let me in
Nothing lasts forever
Now I understand
I hurt you again
My quietest friend
Fifth grade in the lunchroom, fickle friends were telling jokes
Making you the punchline of some random thing I wrote
They were looking to me to land the final blow
Just to be included, went straight up to my head
I thought the joke too stupid for it to matter what I said
I was wrong but I went along with it
You don't have to tell meHow hard it must have been
For you to let me in
Nothing lasts forever
Now I understand
I hurt you again
My quietest friend
We could write me some reminders
I'd memorize them
I could sing them to myself
And whoever's listening
I could put them on a record
About my hometown
Sitting here with pen and paper
I'm listening now

Pedro the Lion è stato un gruppo indie rock di Seattle, Washington, formato dal cantautore David Bazan nel 1995. Bazan rappresentava la principale forza creativa del gruppo, supportato da una rotazione di musicisti collaboratori. T. W. Walsh è considerato l'unico membro ufficiale della band oltre a Bazan. Nel 2006, Bazan e Walsh si sono separati in amicizia e Pedro the Lion si è sciolto quando Bazan ha intrapreso la carriera solista. Nel corso di 11 anni, il gruppo ha pubblicato quattro album in studio e cinque EP, diventando noto per i suoi testi in prima persona con temi politici e religiosi.
