lyrics

All these same four chords that I use for almost everything
when I have something to say and can't see it starting to dissipate,
your disposable camera distorted the outer edge of the frame,
and the quiet hum of the flash and your fingers waited patiently.
Maybe I never saw the end of August coming and
maybe I never noticed how the pace of your speech changed,
but I liked it a whole lot and can't it starting to flare or fade.
Let's drown ourselves in the river sometime later this Winter.

I know you don't deserve it but I hope the most wonderful tragedies find you,
those disasters come to you,
I know you don't deserve it but I hope that someday you feel better.
I know you don't deserve it but I hope that someday you get better.

Because if you don't, then maybe I won't either
and that just makes us a waste of carbon and iron,
and if you'd stop breathing out, you'd stop attracting bees.
And you're collecting this composure, in kind of like a composition
and now it's Winter and losing sleep, and I know you're having trouble sleeping.
If you stop thinking of him, you might start moving forward.

You checked my pulse while I was sleeping,
when my breathing started to slow,
and darling, that happens.
I bet it happens to you too,
you checked my pulse while I was sleeping and
held the back of your hand between my upper lip and the tip of nose, discreetly.

I know you don't deserve it but I hope that someday you feel better.
I know you don't deserve it but I hope that someday you get better.
I know you don't deserve it, but maybe we just shouldn't talk,
we both hurt each other, and It's repetitive and getting old.

I know you don't deserve it but I hope that someday you feel better.
Just cause if you don't, then maybe I won't either
and that just makes us a waste of marrow and fibers,
and if you'd stop breathing out, you might just fade away.
