about

The original title track was two separate songs: Tigers Part I - Idios, and Tigers Part II - Tigers In Edgartown. They have been merged back together into one long ride; two halves rejoined.

lyrics

We were driving down
You at the wheel
I'm doing the rolling
And everything's in slow motion

The idioms we bounced around
The voices get lost in the crowd

Summer guests that came and went
In this small midtown apartment
What did it all amount to?

What did we count on?
What did we count on?
What did we count on?
What did we count on?

The idioms we bounced around
The voices get lost in the crowd

Maybe something happened for once
Turned around and see that you had made a difference

Maybe something happened for once
Turned around and see that you had made a difference
A difference

Maybe something happened for once
Turned around and see that you had made a difference

We were driving in a summer storm
Me at the wheel
You doing the sparking
Now check the battery's fine

Unh

I totally understand
When you talk about that moment
It's a lot more important
Than sleep or food sometimes

Why I stayed up to morning
For three days straight
I had to get it just right
I had to get it just right
Coffees, essays, drug trips
Too many late nights

Perfect moments come and sleep be damned
Mind you wanted this too, and don't deny it

Perfect moments come and sleep be damned
Mind you wanted this too, and don't deny it

I think I would marry you
Tigers in Edgartown
I'd be there too

Sometimes you had a secret wish
You told me you wanted to be completely oblivious
Completely oblivious

I did not see the ocean
'Til 1998
Before I met you
We would have to wait

Calm in the clouds
Displace all my fears
Whisper those mindless
Philosofuck words in my ear
