Dying old twin stars looking at a space book
Thinkin’ bout the fadeaway
They closed the ocean down ever since I left my denim vest at Denny Blaine
There’s a reason we go on and mine will always be
The time I locked eyes with Kathleen
And so ‘Apartment 5’ becomes what a skeptic listens to when she’s happy
So I’ll dig up my sad songs and remind myself that
I am still so soft
And I’m gonna sing you out the best way I know how
And you’ll skip town
So let’s dig up our sad songs and remind ourselves that
We are all so soft
And we will all sing out the best way we know how
We will pet every dog, we will wear flower crowns,
We will hang up pink lights, but we will stand our ground
And you’ll skip town
