One Month

Description:

This is a song that Tegan Quin wrote and that they performed in the years 2000-2001. There was never any demo of it recorded and the only recordings of it available are bootlegs.

Lyrics:

One month to the day that you said that you'd never change

And if I am right then you were always wrong

You got a hand in this while

An old man behind his walls and all day he says fielding calls

Says this whole world's gonna shut down without me

Well let's see, and show your hands to me

And show your hands to

Sinking into your queen sized kingdom

I'm begging you to stay, stay, stay

And sinking into your queen sized kingdom

I'm begging you to go, go, go

And take your pride, no room here for you anymore

Take your pride, no room here for you anymore

If you go, how do I know that?

If you go, how do I know that?

If you go, how do I know that you'll be back again?

'Cause in the end you always comfort me

One month to the day that you said that you'd never change

And if I am right then you were always wrong

You got a hand in this while

An old man behind his walls and all day he says fielding calls

Said this whole world is gonna shut down without me

Well let's see, and show your hands to me

And show your hands to

Sinking into your queen sized kingdom

I'm begging you to stay, stay, stay

And sinking into your queen sized kingdom

I'm begging you to go, go, go

And take your pride, no room here for you anymore

Take your pride, no room here for you anymore

If you go, how do I know that?

If you go, how do I know that?

If you go, how do I know that you'll be back again?

'Cause in the end you always, you comfort me

Trivia and Quotes:

  • Tegan wrote this song for her mom about the time when she left home to move in with her girlfriend.


“I wrote this song for my mom. [...] I had gotten into a relationship and I moved provinces to be with this person and I kind of just came home one day and I was like “I’m moving to Vancouver.” And so, I wrote this song right afterwards cause it’s really hard being a grown-up all of a sudden, like you go from being like a kid, and having a stocking on Christmas eve, and your mom buying you a plastic wading pool, to being like, I’m moving in with somebody.” - Tegan in 2001
