[00:10.074]The other day when we were walking by the graveyard near the house you asked me if I thought, we would ever die.
[00:19.426]And if life and love both fade so predictably, we've made ourselves a kind of predictable lie.
[00:28.668]So I pictured us like corpses lying side by side in pieces in some dark and lonely plot under a bough.
[00:38.715]We looked so silly there all decomposed, half turned to dust in tattered clothes,
[00:44.022]though we probably look just as silly now.
[00:50.985]Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye all this dog-eared innocence.
[00:55.562]I can't pretend that I can tell you what is going to happen next or how to be.
[01:05.531]But you have no idea about me. Do you?
[01:18.047]And it left me to wonder if people ever know each other or just stumble around like strangers in the dark.
[01:27.597]Cause sometimes you seem so strange to me,
[01:30.031]I must seem strange to you.
[01:32.131]We're like two actors playing our parts.
[01:36.689]Did you memorize your lines? 'Cause I did.
[01:39.569]Here's the part where I get so mad.
[01:42.077]I tell you that I can't forget the past.
[01:46.679]You get so quiet now and you seem somehow like a lost and lonely child and you just hope that the moment won't last.
[01:58.925]Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye all this dog-eared innocence
[02:03.558]I can't pretend that I can tell you what is going to happen next or how to be.
[02:13.534]But you have no idea about me.
[02:18.744]You have no idea about me.
[02:25.917]Do you?
[02:30.844]Still, there's always a way around.
[02:35.458]There's something tying our feet to the ground.
[02:39.251]A moment passed, we hear how it sounds. And it seems a little less profound,
[02:50.567]like we're all going the same way down. Yeah we're all going the same way down.
[03:00.535]I'm just trying to write it all down.
[03:07.448]Cause I write songs, and you write letters.
[03:09.908]We are tied like two in tethers, and we talk and read and laugh and sleep at night in bed together.
[03:17.473]And you wake in tears sometimes, I can see the thoughts flash across your eyes. They say,
[03:22.596]"Darling will you be kind? Will you be a good man and stay behind if I get old?"
[03:32.265]Then the letters all pass through my head,
[03:34.884]with the words that I was told about the fading flesh of life and love,
[03:42.096]the failures of the bold. I can list each crippling fear like I'm reading from a will.
[03:52.756]And I'll defy every one and love you still.
[03:57.974]I will carry you with me up every hill. And if you die before I die,
[04:04.734]I'll carve your name out of the sky. I'll fall asleep with your memory and dream of where you lie.
[04:15.056]It may be better to move on and to let life just carry on and I may be wrong. Still I'll try.
[04:28.195]Cause it's better to love whether you win or lose or die.
[04:35.803]It's better to love whether you win or lose or die.
[04:40.133]It's better to love and I will love you until I die.
[04:47.988]
