Dear Valentine Album Version Appears On Ganging Up On The Sun Drew Lewis' Tablature Live Version Appears On The Pasty Tapes, vol. 3 Lyrics Ryan Miller Music Miller/Gardner/Rosenworcel/Pisapia Producer (album) Joe Pisapia/Jason Lehning  Album Version Sessionography Adam Gardner lead vocals Ryan Miller guitar, vocals Brian Rosenworcel drums Joe Pisapia keys  Album Version Guests Neil Rosengarten trumpet, trombone, flugelhorn Notes: Brian's description: "perhaps the most fun song to play of the whole batch. It's spooky and washy and maybe a bit 80s but not really. [...] this track will be the biggest wall of sound on a Guster record to date, and methinks it'll rock live too." Pasty Tapes, Vol. 3 liner notes: "Recorded live in Boston, with a little help from our friends. The studio version of this song will be on the new album."

Album Version

As I fall asleep, to black and white TV Fly far away, in my recurring dream Each winter drains electricity There are words to say There are songs to sing But I can hardly speak at all Home, I'm on my way to a holiday in real time Float, hold my own weight, say we'll be OK Dear Valentine Now quietly peek across the street Perfectly kept, perfectly neat But it's not complete, no not at all Home I'm on my way to a holiday in real time Float, hold my own weight, say we'll be OK Dear Valentine
