It's like someone you knew
Your life long ago
Those broken branches say please
You give them the wheel
Go on through the nighttime
You get empty, you never say no

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

It's cold says a boat
The waves say I know
Falling all over themselves
They sing about sand
Both kinds of lonely
And making it up as they go

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

What a life long ago
Dates and dead people
Dates and dead people
For the love of it all
Dates and dead people
Dates and dead people

Your story is true
Whenever you need one
Click says the lock on a door
It forgives, it forgets
This woman is warm
Yes, says the window

Toasting your dates and dead people
That's your hand in the air
Lighter than light, it's an empty cloud
That gave all it could bear
Surely you cried at the right times
A tear knows what to do
Now your memory of love was dancing
The box step with a broom

Fire subsides like laughing
Ain't that how it goes
There's nothing but devils in a vanity mirror
Pick the one that you know
You know
You know
You know

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

What a life long ago
The lesser of evils
Threading a needle
For the love of it all
Dates and dead people
Dates and dead people

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
