Other Ways To Be Apart

And in the end, of course we left you in the silence, darling To meet again, in the echoes of our violence, darling And I'm afraid of all the daylights we could leave alone now, The things we made, all the nights we whispered on the phone now And these are places that I've always been But I'm never going back there again Because it's clear, when you gave up on me my dear I made you Cavalier, we meet like melodies that never come true Bits of sun, falling hopeless on the meadow rivers, Everyone staring past me through the words I give her And these are places that I've always been But I'm never going back there again I can't see going back there again No I'm never going back there again And in the end, we were lost in feathers and friends and I made you Meet again, where we atrophy and turn into glue And in the end, you'll give up on me my friend and I love you And we pretend, that we might never meet again — To fall in love, fall apart, fall in love without it And if we never fall in love, I'll be the body you're above without it Like the liar run undone, the way you know the day will come without it I'm singing silence to the sun, I'm thinking things I've never done without it And if it's what you're dreaming of, don't be a lark, don't be a dove about it And if you never fall in love, you'll be subliminally all about it And when we first fell out of love I didn't give a second thought about it Because when you first fall out of love you haven't learned that you might have to doubt it And all the homes you're dreaming of, all warm and stable like our parents shouted To be a cat or be a dove, there isn't really much to say about it And if we don't learn how to love, I'll be the one you're dreaming of without it Because when I fell in love with you, I didn't really have a doubt about it Leave the songs you're dreaming of, dreaming of, that you'll never outdo There's so many people left, on the floor, they swing their arms about you Reticent explorers by the door, they sing their songs about you What if I never fall in love, fall in love, fall in love without you?
