[00:16.34]I never wanted any children
[00:17.92]
[00:19.02]Just a nice apartment with open air
[00:21.76]And big windows  and all the flowers
[00:24.63]And I could only ever see myself there
[00:27.13]Yeah  I guess I was too hard for my own good
[00:30.36]
[00:31.52]And then my friends began to fall in love
[00:33.82]First with themselves and then with each other
[00:35.90]
[00:36.82]I met my despair at midday light
[00:38.93]
[00:39.50]And it was amazing  and I almost cried
[00:42.17]
[00:43.40]Nothing that comes and goes is you
[00:45.46]
[00:46.86]But you can compensate for love's sake
[00:49.11]And say yes  and make something together
[00:51.24]Something new
[00:51.91]
[00:52.65]In times of roses who amaze our now & here
[00:55.44]And friends in dresses  interference fits
[00:58.72]A thousand little ceremonies  we admit
[01:01.33]
[01:02.06]We dress up to confront the coming year
[01:03.96]
[01:04.85]There's something present that wasn't before
[01:07.18]
[01:09.18]We fade into the background  man
[01:11.20]
[01:12.11]Of filtered light where and when we can
[01:14.41]
[01:15.52]And live out a thousand weird lives
[01:17.43]In conversations of churches and veils and wives
[01:20.34]
[01:21.21]And it makes me strong and unsinkable
[01:23.57]It makes me sick  it makes the water undrinkable
[01:25.92]
[01:27.09]It feels like singing badly in the clear
[01:29.10]
[01:30.19]Since we began to dress to meet the year
[01:32.25]
[01:32.80]When did we all decide to give up
[01:34.60]
[01:35.67]Since when do we say yes to love
[01:37.34]
[01:39.09]He broke in and he'll take what he can
[01:42.32]It burns like a curse and it fits on my hand
[01:45.17]A cluster of opals and diamonds and scenes
[01:47.83]
[01:48.35]Pay you a penny and stay where i stand
[01:51.57]Trading the diamonds for some golden band
[01:53.83]God  what am I doing with somebody's son
[01:57.18]
[01:57.93]In the same way a bulldozer studies an orchid
[02:00.76]Yes  I am a student of the teachings of love
[02:03.18]
[02:03.77]In the same way that shame
[02:05.10]Changes love as we know it
[02:06.89]Like your body moves into mine and outgrows it
[02:09.34]And splits me from mouth down to thigh like a gun
[02:13.40]What am I doing with somebody's son
[02:15.96]
[02:16.59]We knew better  we knew we would break
[02:19.97]We gave it until we gave up and we know
[02:22.80]That we compensate for love's sake
[02:25.03]Now we say yes
[02:26.62]
[02:29.08]And so
