The Air Near My Fingers

From Stripespedia

The Air Near My Fingers is track 12 on the album Elephant. Very rarely if ever played live due to the fact that Jack doesn't really like the song.

Lyrics

Life is so boring
It's really got me snoring
I'm wearing out the flooring
In a cheap hotel
But I don't have to work
And I might be sinning
But I never have to listen to
The rings of school bells

Don't you remember?
You told me in December
That a boy is not a man
Until he makes a stand
Well, I'm not a genius
But maybe you'll remember this
I never said I wanted to be a man

I get nervous when she comes around

My mom is so caring
She really got me staring
At all the crazy little things
She does for sure
And I can't seem to think of
Another kind of love
That a boy could ever get
From anyone but her

I get nervous when she comes around
