[Verse 1]
I turn over your heart
Which moves
And pebbles in my pond
[Verse 2]
Still warm from my pocket
I toss it
Across the waves
He's skipping, ripple out
Like a dream
No longer clear
And when I say I need you
You sink and disappear
There's a force inside
That buries me alive
[Chorus]
Welcome to your new life
Dancing in the light that slips through the blinds
Welcome to your new life
Is it the paradise baby you hoped you'd find
[Verse 3]
I fumble through to her
On a dusty and out of tune piano
Sharpen my teeth along the riches
Of your words
I climb out of my mind and into
A disheveled bed
I tangle in the sheets as I reach
For you, you say
"To leave me is impossible
And I'd bury you in time"
[Chorus]
Welcome to your new life
Dancing in the light that slips through the blinds
Welcome to your new life
Is it the paradise baby you hoped you'd find
Dancing in the light
See the paradise
You hoped you'd
—— (4: 30) ——
[Verse 1]
Your face
The one that turned away
Hiding in your fingers
Rising to a fever when summer came
The sky was painted grey
You went back to college
Every day apologizing
You forgot my birthday
And I forgot to say
[Chorus]
I'm not sorry that I met you
In an American machine
You're a feminist dream
And when the codeine kills the feeling
I'll let it all wash away
In the northwest rain
And I'll just keep
Breathing
And I'll keep
Breathing
[Verse 2]
I, I remember when
We were so oblivious
Talked about our children and their first names
All sounded the same
What a reckless daydream
The day you chose to leave here
You wore black
And like a silent movie
No one heard the scream
[Chorus]
I'm not sorry that I met you
In an American machine
You're a feminist dream
And when the codeine kills the feeling
I'll let it all wash away
In the northwest rain
And I'll just keep
Breathing
And I'll keep
Breathing
[Verse 3]
When you crossed my mind
The road just keeps unwinding
Your memory starts to fade
The one that walked away
[Chorus]
I'm not sorry that I met you
In an American machine
You're a feminist dream
And when the codeine kills the feeling
I'll let it all wash away
In the northwest rain
And I'll just keep
Breathing
And I'll keep
Breathing
[Outro]
I'm not sorry that I met you
—— (7: 55) ——
[Verse 1]
It could have been a miscommunication
A tequila holiday
She said arachnids are always chasin'
Her happiness away
[Verse 2]
Unimpressionable young madonna
Ziggy stardust around her eyes
I confessed with an oxford comma
Wrote the devil's lullaby
[Verse 3]
Would you be my best friend lover?
Would you be my summer valentine?
I think I knew you in a past life, mamma
Would you even miss me if I died?
Would you miss me if I died?
—— (10: 08) ——
[Verse 1]
There she is
A victim of her circumstances
Stuck in between
Her broken body and a fantasy
And will she wake again
Covered in pollution
Like flowers in December cold with fear
She always finds a way to disappear
And I'll go on
Alone
[Verse 2]
There she is
Revising her heart's resolution
Questioning it all
Dreamless in a hospital
And will we meet again
Dream a new prescription
The flowers from December bloom each spring
I hope from time to time that she remembers me
—— (12: 20) ——
[Verse 1]
Don't give up on me baby
Remember us
We've waited oh so long
And I saved for you
A place in my heart
Where only you belong
[Verse 2]
Don't go and change for me now
Be your mother's child
Even as you're falling apart
I take for you
Each bullet life shoots
To keep you as you are
[Verse 3]
And with my last breath
I'd say to you
In the flashing red and blue
You are more beautiful each day you grow older
You are more beautiful each day you get through
You are more beautiful each day you grow older
And I wanted to grow old with you
[Verse 4]
Don't disappear
Don't twist the knife
I know we both could atone
And I'd plead for you
I'd die in your arms
To prove I love you more
To prove I love you more
