I Won't Mention It Again
I was 7 years old when,
We drew maps of a fire escape from our houses in school,
It's unlikely we'll use them,
But I worked on the goddamn thing so hard,
'Cause I knew,
And you sigh like it's only a moment of silence,
For a tragedy nobody cares about, amen,
I'll crawl into bed,
Be asleep or pretend you are,
I won't mention it again
When we walk through the garden,
And you name every plant in that scientist language you know,
I guess I'm finding it hard when,
It's the birds and the bees and the coniferous trees
and you figure we're just getting old,
No
Lord, it's only a moment of silence
For a tragedy nobody cares about, amen
I'll crawl into bed,
Be asleep or pretend you are,
I won't mention it again,
I won't mention it again
I won't mention it again,
Like it's all the love we ever had,
Again, like you swore it on a bible,
And it's "oh it's just a drink you shoulda never had"
or it's "oh it's up to me to stoop to asking",
And you'll try, aye,
Lord, it's only a moment of silence,
For a tragedy only I care about, amen,
I'll crawl into bed,
Be asleep or pretend you are,
I won't mention it again,
I won't mention it again
We drew maps of a fire escape from our houses in school,
It's unlikely we'll use them,
But I worked on the goddamn thing so hard,
'Cause I knew,
And you sigh like it's only a moment of silence,
For a tragedy nobody cares about, amen,
I'll crawl into bed,
Be asleep or pretend you are,
I won't mention it again
When we walk through the garden,
And you name every plant in that scientist language you know,
I guess I'm finding it hard when,
It's the birds and the bees and the coniferous trees
and you figure we're just getting old,
No
Lord, it's only a moment of silence
For a tragedy nobody cares about, amen
I'll crawl into bed,
Be asleep or pretend you are,
I won't mention it again,
I won't mention it again
I won't mention it again,
Like it's all the love we ever had,
Again, like you swore it on a bible,
And it's "oh it's just a drink you shoulda never had"
or it's "oh it's up to me to stoop to asking",
And you'll try, aye,
Lord, it's only a moment of silence,
For a tragedy only I care about, amen,
I'll crawl into bed,
Be asleep or pretend you are,
I won't mention it again,
I won't mention it again
