lyrics

she sits across the room and watches him in silence
of course he holds a pen
lost somewhere inside himself and in his drink
she sifts through the papers again
adding up the money owed
subtracting what goes out from what comes in
they killed themselves over and over
and always born together again
until they made it here, a home
the most simple success that doesn’t eat them alive
she walks across the room to stroke his hair
he flinches surprised, he looks in her eyes

“let’s stay” he says
“trying again feels like stepping backwards”
“let’s stay” he says
“why start again? i love it here with you”
