Well, hey yourself
I barely expected to write myself
Not to mention to hear back
Well, how’s your health?
What an amazing world we live in now
It’s so barren here
I’ve thought of you often
And suddenly I was watching the weather
Trying to cobble something together
To echo your sound
Hungrily, I’d repeat what you asked me
My thoughts would elbow right past me
And there I was at your service
Stop I feel nervous
Stop I feel nervous
I smell rust
Stop I feel nervous
Wondering if it’s you I should trust
Seems like big time things
are bothering both of us
Well, hey old friend
Something has set you off again
Brought you back from some strange land
But in the end
You’ll have no more clever lines to send
You’ll drop the act you practiced so often
Suddenly I forgot to remember
Those letters returned to sender
With no postage or codes
Ill at ease, choking under the pressure
Guessing at what we can’t measure
We’ll wonder if we deserve this
Stop I feel nervous
Stop I feel nervous
I smell rust
Stop I feel nervous
Wondering if it’s you I should trust
Seems like big time things
are bothering both of us

Elegance, fashion, and taste
You and me and the world in one cold embrace
We pull out of it slowly when we feel out of place
We stuff crumpled receipts in cracks in the walls
So somebody might know we’d been here at all
As if poets and kings would sing of our rise and fall
It was our parents’ generation, we should’ve remembered to call
Everybody’s got a list to check off but
Nobody knows what they wrote it for
Well, you don’t have to be like that with me baby
Lists never did me any good before
And you said “don’t look at me like that”
But I only want you to be happy
Don’t you go giving up the ghost on me
I only want you to be happy
And back at home
Your mind can soar
And I won’t be there anymore
Elegance, a dry joke on the phone
Well, there’s more to the story but I’ll mask my tone
Cause we’ve got better hills to die on and troops of our own
When I think of the ideas they implanted in you
All the marks to fall short of, rusty twists of the truth
Sing me a song of that ruin like it had stolen your youth
In the haze of that memory I thought I’d lost it all too
But everybody’s got regrets to shrug off
Everybody’s got a friend they never call
I won’t ever be a fly on you, babe
I’ll crouch, cock it back, spear it to the wall
I won’t look at you like that
I only want you to be happy
Don’t you go giving up the ghost on me
I only want you to be happy
And back at home
Your mind can soar
And I won’t be there anymore
I only want you to be happy
I only want you to be happy
I only wanted you
I want you to be happy
I only want you to be happy
I only wanted you

I don’t seem like the type
But these dreams are somebody else’s, not mine
My dreams had legs
They had their own time zones
You could see them build up in my eyes
And we would work through the night just building
A model of our lives
I thought those days were behind us
I catch those little reminders
I catch those little reminders
Those little reminders of our love
I hear my voice speaking
But it sounds like somebody else’s, not mine
In my head it blows like a foghorn
The boat leaves, we’re still standing in line
And we would talk through the night just picturing
What the sea might have been like
We tighten the ties that bind us
And catch those little reminders
I catch those little reminders
Those little reminders of our love
We pray that no one will find us
And catch those little reminders
We catch those little reminders
Those little reminders of our love
