Written by Dylan LeSage

lyrics

Do you know where the floorboard has been?
What stepping all the time spent pacing on it
back and forth in your head
With your decisions sobering

They say we loved like skeletons
We ran the last mile we'd ever need
You say you're the plump one but my friend
You're the head that needs to feed

Dear Katie,
I'm gonna be
The best company
The word alone has ever seen

You had me melted like miner's gold
At the foot of your bed, the tip of your teeth
I don't know which is worse
Thinking this was a blessing or a necessary curse

Could you grow up and give me a minute?
To collect myself, your faerie fire
Has spread to my bookshelves
The only things I had left of myself

But dear Katie,
I'm gonna be
The best company
The word alone has ever seen
And you may love me
But you said, "I never did", you see
Oh, dear Katie
Take your Aries eyes off of me

I used to care all the times we'd listen to The World Is... in your car. As I'd rub both your hands and help you skip class like I was happiness in the form of a man. But I'm a shadow of once was, and what you did was no just cause. So I think its safe to say, no matter which way The Shins make you sway. You were the death of me, so thanks sincerely for everything.

But fuck you Katie,
I'm gonna be
The best thing this place
Is ever gonna see
And then you'll be
A walking trvesty
The best company

And you'll say you miss me
but I'm not what you see
I'm just a boy
I ain't no Final Fantasy
