The Decemberists I Don't Mind Lyrics

Truly, with his thorn in your side & you don't know why
Julie dips her toe in the tide & you don't know why
No, she don't know why she got all dolled up for a suicide
& when the stage lights dimmed on the fading scrim,
it was morning before the cheering died

Is it too late to tell you that I don't mind?

King George in imperial robe & a lazy eye
knelt down as the semaphore broke on his tawdry bride
But we don't know why he got all stressed out on the motherland
With his T.V. sets & his fighter jets & the royal ubiquitous handycam

Is it too late to tell you that I don't mind?

Here's you with your mom on your back going into the woods
She's so proud that you're staying on track like a good son should
But you don't know why you got all choked up when you said goodbye
& you can hear her still when the nights are still all crying out for calamine

Is it too late to tell you that I don't mind?

Is it too late to tell you that I don't mind?
