You always wanted more time,
To do what you always wanted to do
Now you got it

And I, I must be high,
To say goodbye
Bye bye bye

You never said you needed this
And you're pissed that you missed the very last kiss,
From my lips

And I, I must be high,
To say goodbye
Bye bye bye

And you never looked in my eyes,
Long enough to find any piece of mind
But now you got it

And I, I must be high,
To let you say goodbye
Bye bye bye

    General Comment:Like most of the songs on AM this tune is about breaking up. I always thought the song was about regret sfter the fact, but after listening to it with the break up of Uncle Tupelo in mind, I was struck by the songs anger. The regret about Uncle Tupelo's demise is still present but the lines,

    "And you never looked in my eyes,
    Long enough to find any piece of mind
    But now you got it"

    strike me as the songs centerpiece and Tweedy's first shot at Jay Farrar.

    General Comment:Chicago is their own flipping state. If you gather a group of people together and ask them where they're from, it goes something like this:
    "Pennsylvania." "Rhode Island." "Georgia." "New Mexico." "Chicago."
    It's proven to be true... at least in my own experience.
    Lol, Chicago, your funny accents make me happy. I hope Chicago overthrows the US some day.

    My boyfriend sang this song to me once... Just for the heck of it. lol. Wilco is neat.
