ON EX-HUSBANDS & WIVES

This is weird, don't you think?
How I used to have a wife, now I've only got a roommate?
Weird, don't you think?
How we used to hang so tightly, now we just can't come together on anything?
How I never thought I'd run from you, but I've been living in the other room?

This is weird, don't you think?
How you used to have a husband, now there's just a fucking ghost in the halls?
And he's trapped inside the house, yeah, he's tethered to the memories of love between these walls...
and I think he's gonna linger, at least until the summer or the fall...
and I think that he'll probably never really be free again...

Now there's an angel or a demon in my room, and I confess that I can't tell the difference, but she looks a lot like you...sounds a little bit like you, too. She whispers, "It's gonna be OK," I don't know if that's the truth or just some cruel and strangely elaborate prank, but either way, I don't believe her. Because hope turns to poison in my ears, as I'm sitting here alone at the end of my rope and a deeply frustrating year. Talk is cheap, maybe I should call up an ex?! See if she wants to reconnect?! No, there's probably plenty of other eligible bachelorettes right around here that I can ruin relationships with tonight...

But time is on our side...Time is on our side...I guess.
If you can keep it together, just keep it together, you're fine...
If you can keep it together, just keep it together, you're fine...
because one way or another, for better or worse, this too is gonna pass...
