We stood in your room and laughed out loud.
Chesterfield King by Jawbreaker

We stood in your room and laughed out loud.
Suddenly the laughter died and we were caught in an eye to eye.
We sat on the floor and did we sit close.
I could smell your thoughts and thought.
Do you want to touch a lot like me?
Too scared to say a thing.

I left your house and kicked myself.

I put those feelings on a shelf to die.
I guess I'm not a gambling type but think of what the two of us had lost.

I needed some time to think it out.
7-Eleven parking lot.
A toothless woman turned and stopped.
I gave her a dime and a Chesterfield.
She leaned down and kissed my cheek.
I was scared but it felt sweet.
Felt so sweet.

She asked me if I had a name.
I told her I was glued up on some chick.
We sat and smoked against the wall.
Drank a beer, felt the chill of fall.

I took my car and drove it down the hill by your house.
I drove so fast.
The wind it couldn't cool me down, so I turned it around and came back up.
You were waiting on your step, steam showing off your breath and
water in your eyes.
We pulled each other into one, parkas clinging on the lawn and kissed
right there.

Said all my chicks they smoke these things and handed you a
Chesterfield King.
Held your hand and watched tv and traced the little lines along your palm.

This is one of my all time favorite song. I listened to it so many times and I also learned how to play it on my guitar. What make this song so great are the guitar sound and the lyrics. Sorry to post more lyrics up but I want to share and express my thoughts on this song. It's about a guy who got a difficult situation on a girl he like. He can smell her thoughts but he is too timid to make "the move." So he left her house went to a 7-11 and he saw a toothless woman and he talked to her and gave her some smokes and money. She then kissed him. I guess that is the moment he learn and realize his love for that girl from that situation. He decided to take his car and drive to cool himself down. He is so hot that the wind couldn't cool him down. He decided to go back to the girl and he saw her waiting for him on the step. He got out and they kissed. It is a great song and a brilliant story. It brings back a lot of my past relationship with girls I like and my timidity...
