lyrics

In the garden
I could hear you hum. (mmmmm)

Sounded a little like
a crooning Judee Sill.

And it’s funny how different tongues can taste—
cheap wine, double bubble gum.

Or how all my insecurities
shelf in aisle three?

Away from me.

I've got a sister
who reads dreams for fun.

I’ve got a mother
who reads obituaries.

How come every time you text me it’s to say you’re in love
with somebody new?

Your mind is moving, moving, moving, moving, moving,
and mine’s staying still.

In the time I’ve come to know you
I’ve been trying

to ignore the way December leaves
signs of the Holocene.

It’s been really good to know you
in this century.

Let’s keep running ’til we run out of
signs of the Holocene.

I need to get up out of bed,
I need to go and wash my hair.

I need to write another song,
they keep not going anywhere.

How come every night I wake up to the same freighter train
flashing through the trees?

You’d think that now I would be used to it—
now I would be—I’m not used to it.

In the time I’ve come to know you
I’ve been trying

to ignore way December leaves,
signs of the Holocene.

It’s been really good to know you
in this century.

Let’s keep running ’til we run out of
signs of the Holocene.

(Well now Aimee heres the thing:
I've got time left still to sing,
so here's the deal.
I'm sorry.

Lately I've been feeling dead.
You've got such a comfy bed.
I hope you're sleeping
better than me.

Now that I've had time to think,
now I'm eight days since a drink,
it's time to—
time to start on the rest.

Now that all these things are said,
now that I've kicked cigarettes,
it's time to—
time to start on the rest.)
