lyrics

We bought ourselves some time
With long shadows and golden lines
One big blur, just like we always were
We taught ourselves to rhyme
Our skin papery and cracked and fine
Just like mine used to be all the time
Just like mine used to be all the time

And I tried to break it gently
I tried to tell you the truth
And I tried to make it more like
When everybody was new
When we were new

I wrote a song for some friends
I used that resin pick I got from Ben
Better than mine, resin just flowed like wine
I tried to write and to sing
And not to fear what the week would bring
Ah, but then I'd go to sleep again
Ah, but then I'd go to sleep again

And I tried to break it gently
I tried to tell you the truth
And I tried to make it more like
When everybody was new
When we were new

And fine
Living our strangest lives

And I tried to break it gently
I tried to tell you the truth
And I tried to make it more like
When everybody was new
When we were new
