Well, You Ruined Everything is on the Beach Ball CD, not the Maple Syrup CD.
So, it's a song being sung to the listener. it is not a mournful song, and it has the letter A but not the word A.
Let's See.
Flickr – no letter A. Not second person.
Resolutions – no letter A. Sampled.
You Could Be Her – no letter A. mournful
I Will – no letter A.
Dance, Soterios Johnson, Dance – letter A. Not strictly second person; third person. Best candidate so far.
So Far So Good – Has an A. Not very familiar with this one. First person. But is the best bet.
Curl – no A
Chiron Beta Prime – Letter A. First person, but sung to the listener of the song. Mmmaybe. Kinda mournful though in a way.
Take Care of Me – Letter A. Second person. Mournful, alas.
A Talk with George – Second person, but contains that A word.
Don't Talk to Strangers – Don't know this one that well. Sounds kinda mournful.
Stroller Town – No letter A.
Re; Your Brains – Contains an A, but not the word! Second person, more or less! Non-mournful protagonist. Alas, it has tabs, and is sung at every show.
That leaves us with:
Dance, Soterios Johnson, Dance
Chiron Beta Prime
Don't Talk to Strangers
So Far so Good
Chiron Beta Prime is done live often. Also it has tabs.
Dance, Soterios Johnson, Dance has tabs and is thus eliminated.
Don't Talk to Strangers seems mournful.
So Far So Good has no tabs, is never played in concert, but is first person.
I believe I have just eliminated every possible song.
Is it Jonthan Hodgeman's introduction to Thing A Week II?
