So Long Ago

Intro

I loved all the things so much I tried

to stick them one to another

Spit my gum between the cushions

and the hinges and the nestlings

I kept it all wadded together

Wanted everything to be something else too

Pre-Chorus

Like a queen could be a heart

Like a heart could be a fire hazard

Chorus

I taped it all together

Everything

I taped my mouth to yours

Until the only noises we made

Were the names of birds that died

So long ago

Verse 2

I put the rocks back in the hole

The workers dug for the pipes

On account of them belonging there

Just as much as the water

My mother called and made me carry them back up

Turns out that's more work than throwing them down

Pre-Chorus

The day it ended

We didn't

We tricked the cards

We set minor fires

Chorus

I taped it all together

Everything

I taped my mouth to yours

Until the only noises we made

Were the names of birds that died

So long ago

Bridge

We ran all night

Took to threatening the moon

And the only sounds we gave

Might have been the ones they made

Might have been the ones they made

Chorus

I taped it all together

Everything

I taped my mouth to yours

Until the only noises we made

Were the names of birds that died

So long ago

So long ago

So long ago
