I never wanted any children.
Just a nice apartment with open air.
And big windows and all the flowers.
And I could only ever see myself there.
Yeah, I guess I was too hard for my own good.
And then my friends began to fall in love.
First with themselves, then with each other.
I met my despair at midday light.
And it was amazing, and I almost cried.
Nothing that comes and goes is you.
But you can compensate for loves sake.
And say yes,and make something together.
Something new.

In times of roses who amazes now and here.
And friends in dresses, interference fits.
A thousand little ceremonies, we admit.
We dress up to confront the coming year.
Theres something present that wasn't before.
We fade into background, man.
Of filtered light where and when we can.
And live out a thousand weird lives.
In conversations of churches and veils and wives.
And it makes me strong and unsinkable.
It makes me sick, it makes the water undrinkable.
It feels like singing badly in the clear.
Since we dress to meet the year.
When did we all decide to give up?
Since when do we say yes to love?

He broke in and he'll take what he can.
It burns likes a curse and it fits in my hand.
A cluster of opals and diamonds and scenes.
Pay you a penny and stay where I stand.
Trading the diamonds for some golden band.
God, what am I doing with somebody's son?
In the same way a bulldozer studies an orchid.
Yes, I am a student of love.
In the same way that shame changes love and we know it.
Like your body moves into mine.
And outgrows it.
And splits me from mouth down to thigh like a gun.
What am I doing with somebody's son?
We knew better, we knew we would break.
We gave it until we gave up.
And we know that we compensate for love's sake.
Now we say yes.
We say yes.
And so.
