about

This version of the song, recorded alongside the one that appeared on Beneath a Balcony, is actually the style in which the Dead Messengers always performed it live. I’ve always preferred this indie-rock treatment, and it’s different enough that I felt okay including it on Anthems. The story is the same, though there is one slight lyric change from the first version. See if you can catch it.

lyrics

We were sitting on the couch, watching the fire burn down, while on the stereo: six months of the saddest stories I have ever told. And when it all was over, you turned and stared at me with the sweetest sympathy. But I have learned: there is beauty in this sorrow, and the girl who doesn’t love me is a song I’ll write tomorrow. And it may take me half a year for these things to come clear, but I can say, “Baby, I’m okay.”
Then we walked outside the house to watch the stars come out and you couldn’t help but ask if all the pain had past, or was it just as bad as it was back then. Now that we’re just friends, how does the story end? And I said, “There’s this method I have mastered: if I quit while I’m ahead I just might avert disaster.” And if she’s a friend instead of lover, she’ll design my record cover and I can say, “Baby, I’m OK.”
And if I make her understand, she might even quit my band, and I can say, “I promise it’s OK.” Then I can say, “Baby, I’m OK.”
