CThe other day when we were walking by thGe graveyard near the house
You asked me Cif I thought we would ever dFie
And if liCfe and love both fade sGo predictably
We've made Courselves a kind of predictable lFife
And so I picCtured us like corpses lying siGde by side in pieces
In some daCrk and lonely blood under a bFow
We looked so siClly there all decomposed half turnGed to dust
In tattered clothes but we proCbably look just as silly noFw
Bye bye bCye bye bye bye to all this doggGed innocence
I can't preCtend that I can tell you what is goFing to happen next
Or how to bCe
But you have Cno FideEma abGout mCe do yEmou
And it lCeft me to wonder if people wiGll ever know each other
By just stuCmbling around like strangers in the daFrk
Cause sometCimes you seem so strange to me
I mGust seem strange to you
We're like two acCtors playing our paFrts
Did you memoCrize your lines 'Cause I did
Here's tGhe part where I get so mad
I tell you CI can't forget the paFst
You get so qCuiet now and you seem somehow
Like a lGost and lonely child
And you just hCope that the moment won't lFast
Bye bye bCye bye bye bye to all this dogGged innocence
I can't preCtend that I can tell you what is goFing to happen next
Or how to bCe
But you have Cno FideEma abGout mCe
You have Cno FideEma abGout mCe do yoEmu
So there's alwCays a way aroEmund
There's somCething tying our feet to the grEmound
A moment passed we hate how it sounFds
And it seCems a litFtle lEmess pGrofouCnd
Like we're aCll goFing the sEmame wGay dCown
Yeah we're aCll goFing the sEmame wGay doCwn
I'm just trCying Fto wEmrite it Gall doCwn
Cause I write soCngs and you write lettGers
We are tiCed like two in tetheGrs
And we tCalk and read and laugh andG sleep at night iCn bed togetGher
And you waCke in tears sometGimes
I can see the thouCghts flash across your eGyes
They say DarlCing will you be kindG
Will you be a good maCn and stay behGind if I get olFd
And then the letAmters all pass through my heGad
With the wEmords that GI was toCld
About the faAmding flesh of life aGnd love the failEmures oGf the bolCd
I can liAmst each crippling feGar like I'm reEmading frGom a wCill
And I'll deCfy FeveryEmone and loGve you stCill
I will carCry yFou with Emme up evGery hiCll
And if you Amdie before I dGie I'll carve your naEmme out ofG the skCy
I'll fall asAmleep with your memGory and drEmeam of whGere you lCie
It may be betCter to move on and to let liGfe just carry on
And I may be wrCong
But still I'll trFy
Cause it's betAmter to lovGe whether you wiEmn or loGse or diCe
Yeah It's beAmtter to loGve whether you wEmin or loGse or diCe
It's beAmtter to loGve and I will loEmve you 'tiGl I diCe
