#59 (of 365) "The Weather" Built to Spill

Can a song reach the top 60 all-time based on a single verse? In this case, yes. A very good, even great song is elevated by this turn of phrase right at the end, that means the world to me and anyone who's ever been in love. It's just so perfect, it makes this song perfect, and every time I hear it, I just stop in place and think of Mike. He doesn't even know. But that makes it even better.

Nobody's hoping for better days, no one knows what to do.
You're okay in your secret place with no one bothering you.
It might save time if I meet you there, but I don't care, I'd rather wait for you

When no one's home and the weather's fine, I'd rather wait for you.
When no one's home and the weather's fine, I'd rather wait for you.
