lyrics

(twice)

Thursday about eleven and again on Sunday late
He stood across the road and looked up at a window
And the window was mine and the light was on
And I was inside not sending four hundred words

He walked past twice (past twice)
Stood there and went home, past twice
Told me weeks later, past twice
Past twice

He walked past twice, past twice, he walked past twice
There is a version of this where neither of us ever speaks
He walked past twice, past twice, he walked past twice
And the only reason there isn't is that I got tired

That's it. That's the entire mechanism. I got tired.
Not brave. Not healed. Not ready. Just too tired to keep it up.
Exhaustion did what eleven days of courage could not.
(BASS RETURNS, WARMER)

He walked past twice, past twice, he walked past twice
There is a version of this where neither of us ever speaks
He walked past twice, past twice, he walked past twice
And the only reason there isn't is that I got tired

(twice...)
