Dusk
Dusk hits the peninsula Like the fists of a girl who's had enough The memories were rough when I started to date her Thirty years later and ten miles north Oh haters they will hate and make their jokes about the Graduate Well I don't really give a shit if people stare at us when we go out (just a few years between) It's amazing the things people do so they won't be alone We're not in our teens It's amazing the love we could make were we equally grown Just keep yourself clean Don't turn the page 'cause we're not the same age In the Albertson's parking lot where we met It's gone a lot further than I'd planned when we started Crosby went to jail and Parsons went to Harvard When you're older I guess you've got more to forget Get ready get set 'cause the sun is setting On preschool picnics and drive-through weddings I will feed you applesauce when the enamel starts to go (just a few years between) It's amazing the things people do so they won't be alone We're not in our teens It's amazing the love we could make were we equally grown Just keep yourself clean A tanker of problems a bucket of bones Did you bring my pills, no I left them at home I can't be the light in the dusk of your life I can't be the light in the dusk of your life You do the dishes and I'll go to the store And then we won't have to be alone anymore The cabbie's getting restless as we stare at one another You can have your own kids if you want to be a mother |
