about

This song features a speech from JFK given during the first presidential debate between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon on September 26th, 1960.

lyrics

My hands are freezing cold and I can't feel at all,
It's that time of year and I miss you dear.

And I'd just like to know if you're still at home,
While I've been growing old, yes I've been growing old.

Well if we're going to grow old why do you cough like you smoke?
Could have quit that job at any time you know,

Instead we're sitting here for the second time this year,
I'm reading over things, just sign with your name.

And in the end we're sinking ships,
And threatening little kids,
In the end we're sinking ships.

Julien Baker is an acquired taste - assuming of course you’ve acquired great taste in singer songwriters… beautiful, devastating, honest, insightful… I’ve not heard a single song of hers that hasn’t left me in absolute awe. crisbroadhurst
