Fewer Broken Pieces - David Bazan

If you make a reference to some trouble that you know

Can it help you keep it under control

Or should I really reconsider

My reasons for going solo

David Byrne on Bob Costas put it pretty well

But I put it better

I still run the show

Don’t you forget it

So I had to let some go

Don’t think I don’t regret it

Because I do and I don’t

Think I’m better off alone

Man I could have made a big sound

But I love to let my friends down

Fewer moving parts means fewer broken pieces

When every other start requires a brand new thesis

One good friend remarks with a rightfully angry

Jesus dude!

None of us know what to do with you

To which I in pride responded

I’ve got news for you

None of you have to, cause

Man I could have made a big sound

But I love to let my good friends down
