Okkervil River - It Was My Season Lyrics
Tell me a reason
To break things off,
Or stop the bleeding,
When it's my season.
Your eyes, they went hard.
Our parents were freaking,
But it was our season,
All that time ago.
And if you want to stop our "thing" you'll stop my heart.
All this pain inside's still just too sharp.
What was I thinking?
Step out of your trailer
It's warm and it's breathing,
And it's our season.
Your dad is half sleeping.
But, really, he's gone.
Can you hear his VCR weeping?
They crossed his wires completely
When they made him fire that gun.
I'll say to you: to cut it off's to cut me down...
If they take me out of school, you out of town...
I called a friend, my world at end, my words unwound.
I said, "It's crashing down around our heads".
We're dumb. We're dead. Shut up about it now.
I won't say I'm sorry, and how would they know?
Below the Atari I could feel your heart was just going.
We'll meet on the weekend. Your dad won't be home.
Your sister's out cleaning.
You don't need to speak it, because I know,
Baby, I know. I said I know.
You know I know.
That it was our season.
It's hard to believe it.
There isn't a reason.
It's only a feeling...
When I look back on it now, remember how
Mixed up I got before they got me sorted out...
All that heart-in-my-mouth,
All that head filled with doubt,
It's fading out.
I hardly think about it now.
They say that I'll go to college
And you will stay home
And watch while I'm leaving,
And the cold will just creep in.
Oh, Jason, I know.

@Songguy1985 my favourite will always be mermaid. those lyrics were ace. the president's dead is good too.
westfall man, westfall
yeah, but everyone says that. either that or for real.
@EminentKnight War Criminal Rises and Speaks for me, love everything about that song.
@joshua church I'm with you.
Although I kinda like all of them. Okkervil River Song always has a certain pull for me, President's Dead is classic, Westfall too, but a lot of the earlier stuff is fabulous too. Precious is amazing lyric wise, A Stone is gorgeous and expresses things perfectly...
But The War Criminal Rises and Speaks tugs on so many strings I can't deny that it is my favorite.
Pm hm bull hklll buoy km Dr
Kim uhh hmm I I ft
Okkervil River Song, Seas Too Far To Reach, A Stone, Song of Our So-Called Friend, Red, Kansas City, Girl in Port, Hand to Take Hold of the Scene.... so many it's hard to choose. I have different favorites for different reasons. I've been listening to these guys for 10 years so I've grown with them a lot.
Kinda reminds me of "Oh you pretty things"
Oh I know! I think lyrically my two favs are: A Stone, and Girl in port. What are yours? :)
Listen to the early stuff, lyrically amazing.
Awesome! I can't explain in how much anticipation I've waited here in little England for Sheff to visit ever since I heard "Girl in Port" and just fell absolutely in love with his lyrics!
I am creaming my pants in anticipation Lol :D
Will Sheff is a poetic genius.
I saw the show on 10/22/13 and they played a lot off the new album as well as about 2 songs from each previous album and a couple covers. Perfectly balanced show!
No but that's an incredible song
Anybody else reminded of David Bowie's Modern Love?
The suspense! :)
Oh man I'm going to the London gig in November....I've been waiting for them to come to England for about 3 years! Do they play any older stuff as well? :)
Fool in the Rain drum groove starting at 2:48
I love how you used the Maxfield Parrish back drop, it is amazing in person and fits well with the song.
I love you Jason

the end is the best part.
probably because its already too mainstream... silly hipsters.
I'm seeing Okkervil on September 27th 2013, looking forward to it. I'm eager to see some of his new stuff live.
Yeah, it was amazing. The songs from the new album are really good live.
did you go? how were they?
Edit: They're playing on Thursday.
They're playing a show in Austin tomorrow night for $15 that I'm seriously considering going to. I tried listening to their last album but could never get into it like the others. I'm hoping that this one won't turn out the same.
"Oh, Jason, I know." Jason Molina?
Reminds me of Spoon.
Different... fairy tale element of cartoon characters is gone, but all they've done is taken the same level of songwriting and applied it to a simpler aesthetic. It still has that playful, nostalgic feel of most of their music, like something essential has been lost, and the only thing we can do is sift through the broken pieces.
I like the grittiness in Will's voice, its really prominent throughout this song
Amazing, can't wait for this album!
aint my thing no more but i aint gonna knock em for wantin to take things a differant direction
I'm glad someone agrees haha, I was beginning to think my ears were broken or something
After three listens I'm still not feeling it. Really want to, though, so I'll give it a few more tries...

This made my afternoon suck less
! ! ! ! ! !
Its hard to contain my excitement for this record. I feel slightly obsessive!
I'm really glad to hear/see something new from Okkervil River. I'm excited
Woah, sounds a lot like old Kings of Leon
I'm listening to this for the sixth time this afternoon.
Seeing them play in L.A. in October-- fantastically excited. The best show I've ever seen was them in Concord, NH in 2008ish. So much energy, so much talent, so fucking loud. This song is really really really great, probably my favorite Okkervil single in a few years.
Love it
Who's Jason?
The war took away Jason's father's peace of mind, just as homophobia took away the narrator's security in his romantic feelings for Jason.

YES!!!! First I find out that I am going to see The Book of Mormon Musical, and then I get this news?? This year fucking rocks!!!
I can't stop watching this. I have a problem. I have a fever, and the only cure's the rest of The Silver Gymnasium.
great !!!
very nice.will the rest of the album be this pianocentric,i wonder.thanks for the sample...
VERY TENDER VERY TENDER BLACK SHEEP BOYS
Switching up the sound. You have a way of making things so fresh! Delightful, playful, fun, and reminiscent. You stop my heart! <3 <3 <3 So excited to hear more!
beautiful
Refreshing
Holy Monday, this is a good song!
NEW OKKERVIL WHAAA. BEST MONDAY EVER

How did that lady get an advance vinyl copy, and why didn't she stick around to listen to it??
Amazing - can't wait for this record. Keep 'email coming, Will!
