Just Sign the Papers
At a big wooden table
In an office off Ann Street
It might as well be the ocean
For as far as you feel from me
But honey, baby, please
Shit, I'm sorry
I didn't mean to call you honey
I trace the grain with my finger
Keep my eyes low, stir my coffee
I shoulda let you go sooner
I know that I made this harder than it had to be
And I'm sorry
I've been the same asshole since you met me
You were the tail lights, like a lifeline
When the storm arrived
I followed you all night till the rain died
Like a long goodbye
I tune out while the lawyers
Start to rewrite all our history
The things that we built together
Get torn down brick by brick and dispersed out evenly
Burn the memories
Spread the ashes over Fort Greene
You were the tail lights, like a lifeline
When the storm arrived
I followed you all night till the rain died
Like a long goodbye
And then at sunrise in the daylight
I watched as you pull aside
I loved you like taillights, like a lifeline
Like a long goodbye
C-come on, just sign the papers
Don't make me stay in the room
I don't want this to be the way that I remember you
C-come on, just sign the papers
Don't make me stay in the room
In a slant of sunlight I watch pools of ink dry blue
C-come on, just sign the papers
Don't make me stay in the room
I can't keep my hands steady but I press my pen down too
C-come on, just sign the papers
Don't make me stay in the room
From the end of my name I swore I saw daylilies bloom
C-come on, just sign the papers
Let's find an end to the gloom
I'm sorry for every single thing I put you through
In an office off Ann Street
It might as well be the ocean
For as far as you feel from me
But honey, baby, please
Shit, I'm sorry
I didn't mean to call you honey
I trace the grain with my finger
Keep my eyes low, stir my coffee
I shoulda let you go sooner
I know that I made this harder than it had to be
And I'm sorry
I've been the same asshole since you met me
You were the tail lights, like a lifeline
When the storm arrived
I followed you all night till the rain died
Like a long goodbye
I tune out while the lawyers
Start to rewrite all our history
The things that we built together
Get torn down brick by brick and dispersed out evenly
Burn the memories
Spread the ashes over Fort Greene
You were the tail lights, like a lifeline
When the storm arrived
I followed you all night till the rain died
Like a long goodbye
And then at sunrise in the daylight
I watched as you pull aside
I loved you like taillights, like a lifeline
Like a long goodbye
C-come on, just sign the papers
Don't make me stay in the room
I don't want this to be the way that I remember you
C-come on, just sign the papers
Don't make me stay in the room
In a slant of sunlight I watch pools of ink dry blue
C-come on, just sign the papers
Don't make me stay in the room
I can't keep my hands steady but I press my pen down too
C-come on, just sign the papers
Don't make me stay in the room
From the end of my name I swore I saw daylilies bloom
C-come on, just sign the papers
Let's find an end to the gloom
I'm sorry for every single thing I put you through
