	Story Behind the Song The high E string broke off my guitar one summer and I got lazy about replacing it. Over the course of writing this song I got so used to that string missing that when I finally replaced the E string, I tuned it down to D so it would "disappear" a little. Turned out to have a cool drone effect all its own, so I left it. The lyrics are well, pretty self-explanatory. Lyrics Now you tell me that you shouldn't have to get another person to give you a permanent realignment But knowing you I find that just a little difficult to believe When everything about you says "Come inside" I want you to know me this way Leave me standing on the shoreline of the river called Monongahela Baby I could draw you all the maps Put an 'x' down on the parts there that will nail you Give a complete cartography of collapse And write a list of all ones down that will fail you There're so many names and so little room I want you to know me this way Leave me standing on the shoreline of the river called Monongahela So tell me how the fuck does what I have to say to you get twisted into all this other bullshit I think I keep well out of the way I don't want to be around when the bills hit to change you should One day you'll be hardwired through for good If there's one thing about you I could never stand I want you to know me this way Leave standing on the shoreline Getting stoned on the shoreline of the river called Monongahela (note, last chorus written but never recorded)
