i wish i could tell you
how sorry i am
have you found someone new?
a christian man?
and what do you tell your friends?
"it just went down like that"
and are they terribly impressed?
what do they say behind your back?

i wish could tell you
you're drop dead kind
you're easy to talk to
and you're generous with time
and where are you living now?
and have you changed up your hair?
and do you keep my friends around?

i don't think i'm ready
i don't think i'm ready no
tell me you forgive me
tell me you forget it all

i don't think i'm ready
i don't think i'm ready no
tell me you forgive me
tell me you forget it all

i don't think i'm ready
i don't think i'm ready no
i don't think i'm ready
i don't think i'm ready
i don't think i'm ready
to let it go

And lover, where’d you lose your patience 
I know you had your patience 
And I was just a kid 

And clueless, you never stop to wonder 
If lightning strikes the thunder 
Or if it’s just coincidence 

Every time your father beat you down 
You told him, "Dad it won’t be long," 
And as your tiny body slept that night, I had my lamplight burning strong 

And hated 
Your bedroom is a dark place, but you've broken all the doorways 
And now you're stuck inside 

But hopeful 
Your memory's still around though, you can see it from your window 
As it starts to pass you by 

Now I'm in your car, you hold your apples in your arms 
You're a friend I used to know, but you still lean against my walls
Tell me beauty I won't bluff, I set my mind to worthless stuff 
But I was hoping you'd have the decadence, the appetite of love 
But that's alright, yeah that’s alright 

Every time your father beat you down 
You told him, "Dad it won’t be long," 
And as your tiny body slept that night, I had my lamplight burning strong 

And when you came to me, and said, "We gotta leave," 
And so we took your parents' car 
And as your tiny body slept that night, I had my lamplight burning strong 

And when we got away, but in a couple days 
We crashed in Arkansas 
And as your tiny body slept that night, I had my lamplight burning strong 

And when the cop cars came and took you away 
I knew I had to write this song 
And as your tiny body slept that night, I had my lamplight burning strong

Big Star cover. More Pale Blue coming soon...

Mike Simonetti + Liz Wight — aka Pale Blue — share a floating, beautifully ethereal cover of Big Star’s 1972 song “Thirteen“. It’s a sparse and haunting re-interpretation that takes a very different, significantly icier route to evoke the same innocent wistfulness and nostalgia as the all-time classic original version.

When you’re tired I’ll take it slow till you fall into place
And I start pulling at your clothes, the look upon your face leaves me wasted
You lift up your hips for me to help me take it off
And would you fake it to be good to me, cause I’ve been proven wrong
But you’re shaking, yeah you’re shaking and making noise

Don’t say nothing, cause I love you when you don’t know what to say
It helps me make you something that I wouldn’t ever have to change

You turn twenty-one tomorrow, go cut up your fake
Yeah you tell me you like older men, well I’m twenty-four in may
And in the quarter-century I’ve lived, I only bought a double bed to sleep with you

Sitting here in old New York, I picture you in love
With some honey-boy you met him back at home when you were younger
And you adore the way he moves, just like I adore you

Please say something, cause I’ve been growing lonesomer each day
And I need your questions to even feel a little bit okay

Tell me how you slept last night, did you wake in a daze
Of memories from ‘fore you knew my name?
And tell me what can make you cry, did you eat enough today?
Cause you’re looking awful skinny in the face

Don’t say nothing, cause I love you when you don’t know what to say
It helps me make you something that I wouldn’t ever have to change

Don’t say nothing, cause I love you but you gotta act your age
To help me make you something that I wouldn’t ever have to change

To help me make you something that I wouldn’t ever have to change
To help me make you something that I wouldn’t ever have to change
