lyrics

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you undressed, felt the curve of your spine, the weight of your breast.
But if either one of us tries to suggest something different, the words always get stuck in our chest.

We’re both terrified of being alone. We both long out the windows but won’t leave our homes.
Because it’s cold outside, and there’s no way to know whose hand you should take and whose you should learn to let go.

And we turn the television on, CNN. Murder, rape and missing girls.
If we can’t learn to see eye to eye, what hope’s there for the world?

We’ve both learned well that it’s better to have an idea of your future even if it looks bad.
A bird in the hand’s worth a flock you can’t have. And we are not the hunter nor the hunted, no we’re too old for that.

So we keep a close watch on the things that we say. If we opened up the floodgates, we’d both wash away.
And we pile up all our resentments and hates and burn them in whiskey at the end of each day.

And we turn the television on, CNN. Scandal, fame and diet pills.
If we can’t learn to see eye to eye, I’m sure anybody will.
We’re both raised east coast, middle class. Learned to love God and hate war.
We share a language and we share a past, but we don’t share anymore.
