i’m gonna buy a storage space
& gather up his faces
i’m gonna ask him to carry me
to the calmer, darker places
i’ll be drinking in the light
& sifting through the rubble
while he’ll be hoping for a fight
to keep him out of trouble

will it be quiet now
will i remember how
oh darling take a bow

i thought we had another year

damn your eyes, you have his eyes
but you’re a poor imitation
& you’re in for an uphill battle
to defy our expectations
damn his eyes, he has your eyes
but he can never replace you
& we go wading in again
it’s not our fault we miss you

will it be quiet now
while we’re forgetting how
oh darling take a bow

we thought we had another year
