A Lot Like Birds
Your Ex Marked My Spot
"I'm standing here in pieces, and you're having delusions of grandeur!"
Just for tonight, can we leave this bed?
'Cuz I've been alone here waiting for some time
But she's been screamin' all night
And even if it wasn't what you planned it'd be
You'll still be here when August turns to April
And asks me where I've been, well here I am
(I'd stay for you)
Well I thought I might, just watch as your trepid little footsteps
Will synchronize with mine
So I know that at least we still have time
...Yeah at least I've still got time
Oh but forever's a beautiful word when it's spoken
Two inches from another's face
And oh they all keep telling me that nothing's permanent
As if it could be any consolation
Just for tonight, can we leave this bed?
'Cuz I've been alone here waiting for some time
But shes been screamin' all night
And even if it wasn't what you planned it'd be
You'll still be here when August turns to April
And asks me where I've been, well here I am
(I'd stay for you)
I'll grow old
And die in a house alone
And you won't know
I stayed here
Worked at this job for forty years
I'm still here
