advice that came to sure

[sk8swimmer82]

"I came as advice that came too short"

[BeLiterary]

Are you sure it's not "Advice that came to shore."?

That's what I've heard since I bought the album years ago.

[Guercinator]

@BeLiterary your most probably right, I just copy and paste from azlyrics.com

@BeLiterary

It might just be a double-meaning, but I always thought it was "advice that came TOO SURE," which would basically make it a statement about how everyone thinks their way is the right way and how the young and innocent of each generation are led astray by their equally-confused "leaders" (who were once babies too) who give advice that's often presumptuous and no better than a guess.

I ain't sure, but that's what I heard....

hahaha

[FraterAnarkhos]

@BeLiterary advice that came too short makes a lot more sense....

I love this song (and Satellie Skin) so much it's actually almost scary. I blew through the playlist on their website in two days and instantly became a fan for life. So amazing.
