Shed the days like skin Pray for evenings in Hold their hands in the street when you walk them off to school A box too full to shut Cardboard paper cut Bleeding edge of a picture of your parents when they were cool So much to say, I forget to start There goes a day, fading as it passes Forget the grey, let it fall apart It's okay I like you in glasses Shovels in the sand A playdough wedding band A drowning princess in a tangle of towels on the floor An old familiar ache The little pills we take The thoughtless kindness of a coffee cup waiting by the door So much to say, I forget to start There goes a day, fading as it passes Forget the grey, let it fall apart It's okay It's on the board Someone's been double-booking I've got time How is your next week looking? House shifts into place A little breathing space The radiators and the floorboards will argue while we sleep There's water in the walls The stairs make waterfalls Down in the basement the soft sound of a river digging deep So much to say, I forget to start There goes a day, fading as it passes Forget the grey, let it fall apart So much to say, I forget to start There goes a day, fading as it passes Forget the grey, let it fall apart It's okay I like you in glasses
