about

This is a song about two kids who, if they were married, should definitely get divorced.

lyrics

Sometimes you look so gently at me
Sometimes we sing
Sometimes we scream so violently
That the whole care rings

Some days you show me who I am
And the beauty of forgiveness
Those days I love you more
Than the world could ever witness

So cover me with guilt
Til I am good and buried
Oh weigh me down with hatred
More than I could ever carry

Spit at me your platitudes
And leave me behind
And I hope you never make it to
The Texas-New Mexico line

And you ran from all your fears
With nowhere to return to
I followed you to nowhere
Without a second thought
And we need each other dearly
Like the dead are gonna rot

And you cannot grow without me
I cannot grow without you
You cannot grow without me
I cannot grow without you
