lyrics

(instrumental)

His name is Martin and he sends a spreadsheet quarterly
Four times a year, twelve years, forty-eight spreadsheets
He has never asked me a single personal question
(personal question)
Martin is the healthiest relationship in my entire life

The numbers go up when they tour (when they tour)
Which is how I know they're still doing that song

The accountant
(accountant)
The only person from that life who still writes
The accountant
And he only ever writes in numbers

Once, in 2021, he added a line at the bottom
"Hope you are well." Four words. I stared at it for an hour.
Next quarter it was gone and I was relieved
(was relieved)
Please do not be kind to me, Martin. We had a system.

I looked him up. He's sixty-one. Two kids. Golf.
He has no idea he's my last connection to any of it.
That's exactly why it works.
(BASS RETURNS)

The accountant
(accountant)
The only person from that life who still writes
The accountant
And he only ever writes in numbers

(quarterly.)
