lyrics

lives of quiet desperation
punctuated by these little gestures
little signs you care
i saw the candles on the stairs
the fruit containing hidden messages
i saw the meal that took all afternoon
and even though
you drank yourself out of a simple conversation
i maintain

i made this bed and i know
that it's full of creases
and it's full of holes
but when i lie back
and close my eyes
it still feels comfortable

i don't want to give this a name
i don't want to speak the problem
i don't want to confront this pain
while there's something to hold on to

and anyway
it's too late for fresh air
in these smoke filled lungs

sometimes i feel like i'm making mountains
sometimes i feel
all alone in my family home
the silence beats shouting i guess
but they both have worn me out
another strong heart slowly fades

i know he's had it rough
we both have
i know he'd never hurt me
at least physically
history and geography
weight a heavy shadow over both of us
it's not like i blame him

and it's not just for the kids
i don't know what they get from this

so what it isn't perfect
perfection slipped away that night in 1985
my life's been 'making do'
not 'making dreams come true'
and i've been getting by just fine

i’ll talk myself around
three hundred and sixty degrees
i always end up
right back between these sheets
