The other dD#ay, when we were walking by the graveA#yard near the house, you
asked me iD#f I thought we would ever diCme. And if liD#fe and love both fade so
predA#ictably, we've made ourselves a kiD#nd of predictable lifCme.
And so I picD#tured us like corpses, lying siA#de by side in pieces,
in some daD#rk and lonely blCmood under a bow. WeD# looked so silly there, all decomposed, half
turA#ned to dust, in tattered clothes, but we probCmably look just as silly now.
Bye bye bye bD#ye, bye bye to all this dogA#ged innocence. I cant preteD#nd that I
can tell you what is goA#ing to happen next, or how to Cmbe.
But you have D#no A#/Didea aCmboutA# meG#, do yoD#u?
And it leD#ft me to wonder if people will evA#er know each other by just
stumD#bling around like strangers in the daCmrk. 'Cause sometD#imes you seem so
strange to me, I mA#ust seem strange to you. We're like two actD#ors playing our
paCmrts. Did you memD#orize your lines? 'Cause I did. Here's the parA#t where I get
so mad, I tD#ell you I cant forget the paCmst. You get so quiD#et now, and you
seem, somehow, like a loA#st and lonely child. And you just hoD#pe that the
moment wont lCmast.
Bye bye bye bD#ye, bye bye to all this dogA#ged innocence. I cant preteD#nd that I
can tell you what is goA#ing to happen next, or how to bCme.
But you have D#no A#/Didea CmaboA#ut G#me, you have D#no A#/Didea CmaboA#ut G#me, do yoD#u?
So there's alD#ways a way aroCmund. There's someD#thing tying our feet to the
grCmound. A moment paA#ssed, we hate how it souCmnds.
And it sD#eems a A#/Dlittle lCmess A#profoG#und. Like we're aD#ll A#/Dgoing the Cmsame wA#ay dG#own.
Yeah we're aD#ll gA#/Doing the Cmsame wA#ay doG#wn. I'm just tryD#ingA#/D to wCmrite it A#all dG#own.
'Cause I write soD#ngs, and you write lettA#ers. We are tieCmd like two, in
teA#thers. And we taD#lk and read, and laugA#h and sleep, at nighCmt in bed,
togA#ether. And you waD#ke in tears sometimA#es, I can see Cmthe thoughts flash
across your eA#yes. They say "D#;Darling, will you A#be kind? Will you be a good
Cmman, and stay beA#hind if I get olCmd?"
And then the letD#ters all pass thrA#ough my head, with the worD#ds that IA#/D was
tCmold. About the faD#ding flesh of lifA#e and love, the faD#ilures oA#/Df the bCmold. I
can liD#st each crippling feA#ar like I'm readD#ing frA#/Dom a wCmill.
And I'll dD#efy A#/DeveryCmone and lA#ove you stG#ill. I will carD#ry A#/Dyou with Cmme up eA#very
hG#ill. If you dCmie before I dA#/Die, I'll carve your nD#ame out A#/Dof the sCmky. I'll fCmall
asleep with your mA#/Demory and drD#eam of wA#/Dhere you lCmie.
It maybe betD#ter to move A#on, and to let lCmife just carry A#on. And I may be
wCmrong. But still, I'll tD#ry.
'Cause it's beCmtter to lA#/Dove whether you wiD#n or A#/Dlose or Cmdie. Yeah, It's beCmtter
to lA#/Dove whether you wD#in or A#/Dlose or Cmdie. It's bCmetter to A#/Dlove, and I will lD#ove
you 'A#/Dtil I diCme. D#
