lyrics

Another long night disagreeing and we’re both lying awake.
I feel it in my neck and shoulders, this body needs a break
From tussling trying to make sense of how we got here from where we’ve been.
Let’s close our eyes for now and take a little rest.

All the light is gone
And everything’s wrong
And we’re both trapped in our minds
But we’ll see by day
Another way
You go yours and I’ll go mine.

I hope the neighbors didn’t hear us crying and what we said,
But the walls are thin in this house—it’s not much but we did our best
At hustling trying to make a go, this town’s hard on you I know.
Just lay it down for now—we’ll pick it up tomorrow.

When the morning comes
We’ll be gone
But you’ll be yours and I’ll be mine
And we’ll see by day
Another way
You go yours and I’ll go mine.

When we swore forever we both meant it, didn’t we.
All those beautiful things we said, I’m trying to believe,
But what you did, high that night, brought the cold truth home,
And I cried myself to sleep on our wedding bed all alone.

***

I’m not your savior now,
But you’ll be fine—
You be yours
And I’ll be mine.
