Hum - Why i like the Robins

the distance outside of you comes into focus, collapses away
loving me
and hands to the glass and eyes to sky and glued to the south
she waits to see
she's looking for birds she met last fall,
who said they would come back different than all
she's waiting for six who know about sound,
who'd promised to come back upside down
and i like your raindrop collector,
splash in my eyes and makes everything else look like you
so hand me the glasses and teach me to use them,
show me the window, i want to look too
i'll take the glasses and cover for you,
you get some sleep and i'll stay 'till two.
i'm looking for six who know about sound,
who promised to come back upside down
she's got colors to spare and i don't care what they choose
and i've got nothing to do and nothing like you left to lose

This song really feels nostalgic. It doesn't remind me of any song or moment in particular, it just feels like memories. If that makes any sense.

The only tatoo I have is from this album insert..the zebra listening to the phonograph

I got this album out of a dump bin they had at my college radio station. It was the radio demo copy, and I thought, ah well, it's free. If it sucks, it's free. Well, I wore this puppy out--don't have the tape anymore, even. And one of the reason is this song.

@M0nkeeman1200 I know exactly what you mean. Just about all of Hum's songs evoke this feeling for me.

When I was maybe 3-5ish, my older brother would always play this album.

10 years later, when I heard this song on his MP3 player as I lay barely awake in my bed, I had such a blast of nostalgia that I nearly cried.
