๐ Lyrics
I saw you in a scrapbook that I found inside a box,
In a closet full of boxes, full of underwear and socks
And under where each page was reading names of long lost friends
Was a once unfinished love song that I wrote at journey's end
I couldn't sing the melody, but I read each ancient word
It probably used a couple chords, and maybe had a third
And spat out angry, guilty, lusty, feelings I once knew
In another space at another time from another point of view
Then it dawned on me
As the sun came up
We were never free
Until we both gave up
If you every feel like testing whether or not we're really through
Stick a fork into me, baby, maybe, I'm done
I'm done with you
Credit card receipts from cheap motels where we once stayed
When I was young and frustrated and hoping to get laid
The queen of clubs, old ticket stubs, and yellow birthday cards
Poems we wrote, to quote the phrase, that love is not so hard
I found pictures of our better sides, with smiles upon our lips
Pictures of us passing out upon each other's hips
Photographs that made me laugh, and some that made me blue
Was it worse, the awful things I did, or the things I didn't do
Then it dawned on me
As the sun came up
We were never free
Until we both gave up
If you every feel like testing whether or not we're really through
Stick a fork into me, baby, maybe, I'm done
I'm done with you
I saw you on a website and you hadn't aged a year
Since the last time that I saw you finish off a glass of beer
You even looked much younger than the tired girl I knew
When our light was dim, you slept with him, and I chased an evil shrew
It seems you're doing well nowadays and you've reinforced your soul
A stronger will than mine, must have somehow made you whole
It lightened up my load to know you'd finally found your smile
But I couldn't rightly write all night, it seemed too much like a trial
Because it dawned on me
As the sun came up
We were never free
Until we both gave up
If you every feel like testing whether or not we're really through
Stick a fork into me, baby, maybe, I'm done
I'm done with you
In a closet full of boxes, full of underwear and socks
And under where each page was reading names of long lost friends
Was a once unfinished love song that I wrote at journey's end
I couldn't sing the melody, but I read each ancient word
It probably used a couple chords, and maybe had a third
And spat out angry, guilty, lusty, feelings I once knew
In another space at another time from another point of view
Then it dawned on me
As the sun came up
We were never free
Until we both gave up
If you every feel like testing whether or not we're really through
Stick a fork into me, baby, maybe, I'm done
I'm done with you
Credit card receipts from cheap motels where we once stayed
When I was young and frustrated and hoping to get laid
The queen of clubs, old ticket stubs, and yellow birthday cards
Poems we wrote, to quote the phrase, that love is not so hard
