Pick a Place and Read
Well, I said, "Take it or leave it"
And she left it on the bedroom floor
There was quiet in the corners
There was trouble in a bag behind the door
And all the lies too oft repeated
They were seated in repose upon the porch
And in the midst of all this clamor
Is the struggle to remember us before
Now that you're holding up your diary every time we meet
Saying, "This may be the single saddest book there'll ever be"
Sit down beside me
Pick a place and read
And I will hear you
And I will hear you
And on that day you took your turn
I sat with loneliness, we learned
Hungry as the desert sun
Darling of the doomed and drunk
And all the bad news that can fit jumps in my ear and does insist
That these things always end like this
Like this
Oh-oh-oh, this
Like this
Well, we knew there would be trials
We knew there would be faults
And it was gonna take a while yet
To start to see results
Now that you're holding up your diary every time we meet
Saying, "This may be the single saddest book there'll ever be"
Sit down beside me, pick a place and read
And I will hear you
And I will hear you
And on that day you took your turn
I sat with loneliness, we learned
Hungry as the desert sun
Darling of the doomed and drunk
And all the bad news that can fit jumps in my ear and does insist
That these things always end like this
Like this
Oh-oh-oh, this
Like this
And she left it on the bedroom floor
There was quiet in the corners
There was trouble in a bag behind the door
And all the lies too oft repeated
They were seated in repose upon the porch
And in the midst of all this clamor
Is the struggle to remember us before
Now that you're holding up your diary every time we meet
Saying, "This may be the single saddest book there'll ever be"
Sit down beside me
Pick a place and read
And I will hear you
And I will hear you
And on that day you took your turn
I sat with loneliness, we learned
Hungry as the desert sun
Darling of the doomed and drunk
And all the bad news that can fit jumps in my ear and does insist
That these things always end like this
Like this
Oh-oh-oh, this
Like this
Well, we knew there would be trials
We knew there would be faults
And it was gonna take a while yet
To start to see results
Now that you're holding up your diary every time we meet
Saying, "This may be the single saddest book there'll ever be"
Sit down beside me, pick a place and read
And I will hear you
And I will hear you
And on that day you took your turn
I sat with loneliness, we learned
Hungry as the desert sun
Darling of the doomed and drunk
And all the bad news that can fit jumps in my ear and does insist
That these things always end like this
Like this
Oh-oh-oh, this
Like this
