lyrics
(the good year) There was a year in the middle of it that was actually good Nobody mentions that part when they're telling me I'm free And I won't pretend it wasn't, and I've tried to, and I could But the truest thing about it is it worked for both of us, briefly We had a flat with a boiler that made a noise like a train And a Sunday thing with soup and a shop we always used And I can't put that in a song where I'm supposed to be in pain And I can't leave it out because it's why I got confused The good year, the good year, and nobody wants to hear That the bad thing had a summer where it worked exactly right The good year, the good year, and it's the reason I stayed near For three more years of trying to get back to that one light That's the trap. That's the whole mechanism. It's not the pain. It's one good year and eleven spent trying to have it again. The good year, the good year, and nobody wants to hear That the bad thing had a summer where it worked exactly right The good year, the good year, and it's the reason I stayed near For three more years of trying to get back to that one light (that one light)
