lyrics

Did you ask me just so you could tell me what you think thought ships were sailing now we’re watching them sink and I promise I don’t want to fight lets just be honest the rest of the night honestly I want to know everything about the ring all the drinks and one night stands and all your shattered dreams because history isn’t a burden to me the Ottoman Empire or my family tree in a dream it is me raking up the leaves off of secrets buried so deep we’ll never see I’m in the living room listening to Leonard Cohen you’re in the bedroom yelling and crying on the phone and I promise baby we’ll be alright I kiss your belly I kiss the tears from your eyes take your hand and we slow dance to The Partisan surrounded by memories of everywhere we’ve been and I love you with all of my heart not even the desert could tear us apart isn’t it strange how much we’ve changed or how a place can stay the same an empty soundstage to raise kids with family names
I don’t want to be controlling and I don’t want to be controlled and I don’t know where it goes from here but I’m not afraid and I don’t know where it goes from here but I can’t wait
