Rainer Maria

Rainer Maria was an emo band originally from Madison, Wisconsin, later residing in Brooklyn, New York. Named after the German-language poet Rainer Maria Rilke, they formed in the late summer of 1995 and released five full length albums, a live DVD, numerous live recordings, and EPs. In its earlier days, the band had a dual male and female vocal line-up; later, Caithlin De Marrais took over most singing. The gender ambiguity of the name Rainer Maria paralleled this and was one of the reasons it was selected as the band's name.[citation needed] more »

I've seen the girl who'll pick up where I leave off 
She's already smoothing her hands for the pictures 
I've seen her sorting through my memories 
What's sweet? What's bitter? 
She wants what I can't give her. 

I've seen the girl who'll chew up what I bite off 
She's devising a better mouth just to kiss you 
Any minute I'll have to surrender to her wishes 
What to take and what to set free? 
I wonder if she'll miss me. 

I've seen the girl who'll be brave when I run off 
She's been picking her fights like she knows how to win them 
I've seen her sorting through my memories 
What's sweet? What's bitter? 
She wants what I can't give her. 

Every time I try to get out of her way, the day's, the day's full of kids 
Giving you the finger, and speeders gonna kill you on your tiny street 
She wants to beat through all the hell and high water, threatening what she believes 
That's when I know I should just drop everything and let her sing 
She's a better version of me 

I've seen the girl who'll remember what I lost 
She has never forgotten a name or a punch line 
She is the one that I have chosen 
I'm lost but she's found 
A better way to get 'round 

I've seen the girl who'll pick up where I leave off 
She's already smoothing her hands for the pictures 
I've seen her sorting through my memories 
What's sweet? What's bitter? 
She wants what I can't give her. 
I'm lost but she's found 
A better way to get 'round 

Every time I try to get out of her way, the day's, the day's full of kids 
Giving you the finger, and speeders gonna kill you on your tiny street 
She wants to beat through all the hell and high water, threatening what she believes 
That's when I know I should just drop everything and let her sing 
She's a better version of me 

I tell myself
I tell myself you're not a fool 

I tell myself
I tell myself you're not a fool
