lyrics

Courting you I’d court disaster after disaster.
I couldn’t justify sleep
or introductions to new arrivals (your newest rivals)
They stood outside your unlocked bedroom window keeping you asleep.
And you prayed for widowhood instead of this.
We’re both wishing I could leave without sound.

So if you’re waiting for my reaction,
I’m too collected to ever justify three months of silence
But I can promise I’ll send you postcards to keep a tiny spark alive in your mind.
“I’m wishing you were here,” I’ll write above the sundrenched scenery,
“But take a look around, this once was ours”

Collecting silence on the phone
And soon it’s twelve years on
But no one ended up alone so uncross your arms
It’s twelve years on

It’s getting warmer with every mile west to Victoria
It’s the longest sunset I’ve seen
I just can’t fathom how you can read this and still see fiction
When you know that I hate subtext, or vacant musings, or aimless colloquy
It’s all italics or blank pages with me
Now take a look around, which one was us?

Collecting silence on the phone
And soon it’s twelve years on
But no one ended up alone so uncross your arms

All the looks you wasted on books we could’ve based this on.
Spines would crack in halls, offices, and tourist motels.
Attract the curious with titles rife with so much scandal, sin and sorrow…
