Coco Chanel No. 5

I could tell the truth, or I could tell a lie
or say the right thing at the right time
We started out writing good letters
but then for me in Memphis recording
Yours were scented with Coco number 5
we rushed in yelling things

I could tell the truth, or I could tell a lie
or say the right thing at the right time
Like I miss you so much in person and up close
When we fucked and we fought
Away from each other we could manage to see
Just what it was that we got rid of

In absentia we were better off
Finding new places to stay
Finding new signs of reservations
for the wishes we share

I could tell the truth, or I could tell a lie
or say the right thing at the right time
