When All Else Fails, It Fails - The Ataris

You'll be forever an angel in a sundress
Blowing in the sweet September wind.
At least that's how I choose to remember.
And in my heart, you'll never love again.

Maybe it's too late to regain sight of all that we have lost and i've
got to hold on to this moment; don't let it go.
Maybe it's too late for redemption now.

I see a blanket of pale white snow on the streetside
From this dollhouse full of open words.
And the stained glass of the church next door
Casts its light upon this empty room.

Your eyes, they used to shine as bright as Northern Lights without
The demand to be loved, is the greatest arrogance.
And I can never make you love me again.
And when all else fails, it fails.
Did I fail you? will you fail me to?

Because there's nothing that I wouldn't do to hold on to you,
But you give me nothing to hold on to.

And maybe it's too late to keep the one I love from giving up but I
guess it's too late for forgiveness, God forgive me.
I guess it's too late for a family now.
Everything reminds me of you.
Everything reminds me of you.

You're an angel in a sundress,
And my heart will never love again.

He's ditched a lot of the references to all the cool little things teenagers do. Then agian, I'm not a teenager anymore, and I don't skate or hang out on roofs so much either, so I guess me and The Ataris matured at the same time.

I'd say they're all great albums, in different ways. Like this song's great, but Teenage Riot is great in a different way, sorta thing.

Good song, but oh sooo sad, gets me right at the spot...

The Ataris is the best band ever and their songs have helped me through endless of hard times. With music that speaks to your heart you heal in time.
