lyrics

You send me secret messages
With your tender accusations
I comb through every consonant
In our coded conversations

I listen very carefully
For the end of every sentence
Then drop a salty swollen tear
Evidence of my repentance

I can show you how sorry I am
Please excuse my command overhead
I knew what you meant, I’m afraid I forgot what you said

I panic and forget my part
I stumble over every line
You look like you’re enjoying this
And your eyes have gone to dollar signs

Please spare me your sympathy
And your patient understanding
I learned your love song years ago
Each revision notwithstanding


I can show you how sorry I am
Please excuse my command overhead
I knew what you meant, I’m afraid I forgot what you said
I heard you the first time, excuse me while I go drop dead

You smash up the living room
While I wait out the storm in the attic
You shout and you plead with me
But I can’t hear you over the static
Sometimes, you say, you could strangle me
You always had a flair for the dramatic
I see your mouth moving but all I can hear is just….
