Lyrics

Is not the long flowing dress that you’re in
All the light coming off of your skin
The fragile heart you protected for so long
Well the mercy in your sense of right and wrong
It’s not your hand searching slow in the dark
Oh your nails watermark
It’s not the way you talked me off the roof
Your questions like directions to the truth
It’s knowing that this can’t go on forever
Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
Maybe we’ll get forty years together
But one day I’ll be gone
One day you’ll be gone
If we were vapitres and death was a joke
We’d go out on the sidewalk and smoke
And laugh at all the lovers and their plans
I wouldn’t feel the need to hold your hand
Baby time running out is a gift
I work hard till the end of my shift
And give you every second I can find
And hope it isn’t me who’s left behind
It’s knowing that this can’t go on forever
Likely one of us will have to spare some days alone
Maybe we’ll get forty years together
But one day I’ll be gone
One day you’ll be gone
It’s knowing that this can’t go on forever
Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
Maybe we’ll get 40 years together
But one day I’ll be gone
One day you’ll be gone
