Shred

Shred your letters in the machine
Wash away memories that they'll never read
Insurance claims and credit card fees
Boring things remind them how hard living can be

They stick around a couple of weeks
Clean the life out from the room where you used to sleep
Wipe the dust that you used to be
Landlord says they've gotta leave the place looking neat

Not even Homer's Ulysses can last through the end of time, so
What made us believe our love story ever stood a chance?
Stubborn young arrogance

Clear the message from your machine
It's been 15 years since they've seen one of these
Love letters written by me
Buried underneath a stack of your magazines

All those things that you meant to me
You made living life just a bit more easy
They see my name written in green
Right before I'm eaten by those sharp metal teeth

Not even Joyce's Ulysses will last through the end of time so
What made us believe our love story ever stood a chance?
Stubborn young arrogance
