lyrics
It’s one whole day since I last met you
It’s five whole years since I first loved you
I’m half as twee as I first sold
You said you can’t wait to grow old
Spinning through the supermarket doors
You treat each thought just like a newborn
That’s ushered in to somewhere warm
And while debating with the rafters
Through doubled-over, boozy laughter
You were told to keep an eye on me
Slowly, oh so very slowly I
Slip into a simile, like clinging to a stalactite
You inspire us still, though
You emerged from sea foam
And if I just composed myself then maybe I could turn into a song
I wish that I could ease your buzzing head
I wish that I meant everything I said
Let’s meet and start a new religion
Let’s meet behind the television
Let’s meet the day that we turn fifty-five
Frozen lungs with nothing left
Curled up like a treble clef
A cloudless night, a cruel September
With Venus winking like an ember
You were dumbstruck, I was half-alive
Slowly, oh so very slowly I
Slip into a simile, like clinging to a stalactite
You inspire us still, though
You emerged from sea foam
And if I just composed myself then maybe I could turn into a song
It’s one whole day since I last met you
It’s five whole years since I first loved you
I’m half as twee as I first sold
You said you can’t wait to grow old
Spinning through the supermarket doors
It’s five whole years since I first loved you
I’m half as twee as I first sold
You said you can’t wait to grow old
Spinning through the supermarket doors
You treat each thought just like a newborn
That’s ushered in to somewhere warm
And while debating with the rafters
Through doubled-over, boozy laughter
You were told to keep an eye on me
Slowly, oh so very slowly I
Slip into a simile, like clinging to a stalactite
You inspire us still, though
You emerged from sea foam
And if I just composed myself then maybe I could turn into a song
I wish that I could ease your buzzing head
I wish that I meant everything I said
Let’s meet and start a new religion
Let’s meet behind the television
Let’s meet the day that we turn fifty-five
Frozen lungs with nothing left
Curled up like a treble clef
A cloudless night, a cruel September
With Venus winking like an ember
You were dumbstruck, I was half-alive
Slowly, oh so very slowly I
Slip into a simile, like clinging to a stalactite
You inspire us still, though
You emerged from sea foam
And if I just composed myself then maybe I could turn into a song
It’s one whole day since I last met you
It’s five whole years since I first loved you
I’m half as twee as I first sold
You said you can’t wait to grow old
Spinning through the supermarket doors
