The other day when we were walking by the graveyard near the house you asked me if I thought, we would ever die. |
| [00:19.426] |
And if life and love both fade so predictably, we've made ourselves a kind of predictable lie. |
| [00:28.668] |
So I pictured us like corpses lying side by side in pieces in some dark and lonely plot under a bough. |
| [00:38.715] |
We looked so silly there all decomposed, half turned to dust in tattered clothes, |
| [00:44.022] |
though we probably look just as silly now. |
| [00:50.985] |
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye all this dog-eared innocence. |
| [00:55.562] |
I can't pretend that I can tell you what is going to happen next or how to be. |
| [01:05.531] |
But you have no idea about me. Do you? |
| [01:18.047] |
And it left me to wonder if people ever know each other or just stumble around like strangers in the dark. |
| [01:27.597] |
Cause sometimes you seem so strange to me, |
| [01:30.031] |
I must seem strange to you. |
| [01:32.131] |
We're like two actors playing our parts. |
| [01:36.689] |
Did you memorize your lines? 'Cause I did. |
| [01:39.569] |
Here's the part where I get so mad. |
| [01:42.077] |
I tell you that I can't forget the past. |
| [01:46.679] |
You get so quiet now and you seem somehow like a lost and lonely child and you just hope that the moment won't last. |
| [01:58.925] |
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye all this dog-eared innocence |
| [02:03.558] |
I can't pretend that I can tell you what is going to happen next or how to be. |
| [02:13.534] |
But you have no idea about me. |
| [02:18.744] |
You have no idea about me. |
| [02:25.917] |
Do you? |
| [02:30.844] |
Still, there's always a way around. |
| [02:35.458] |
There's something tying our feet to the ground. |
| [02:39.251] |
A moment passed, we hear how it sounds. And it seems a little less profound, |
| [02:50.567] |
like we're all going the same way down. Yeah we're all going the same way down. |
| [03:00.535] |
I'm just trying to write it all down. |
| [03:07.448] |
Cause I write songs, and you write letters. |
| [03:09.908] |
We are tied like two in tethers, and we talk and read and laugh and sleep at night in bed together. |
| [03:17.473] |
And you wake in tears sometimes, I can see the thoughts flash across your eyes. They say, |
| [03:22.596] |
"Darling will you be kind? Will you be a good man and stay behind if I get old?" |
| [03:32.265] |
Then the letters all pass through my head, |
| [03:34.884] |
with the words that I was told about the fading flesh of life and love, |
| [03:42.096] |
the failures of the bold. I can list each crippling fear like I'm reading from a will. |
| [03:52.756] |
And I'll defy every one and love you still. |
| [03:57.974] |
I will carry you with me up every hill. And if you die before I die, |
| [04:04.734] |
I'll carve your name out of the sky. I'll fall asleep with your memory and dream of where you lie. |
| [04:15.056] |
It may be better to move on and to let life just carry on and I may be wrong. Still I'll try. |
| [04:28.195] |
Cause it's better to love whether you win or lose or die. |
| [04:35.803] |
It's better to love whether you win or lose or die. |
| [04:40.133] |
It's better to love and I will love you until I die. |
| [04:47.988] |
