Letra de Glasses
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
A cardboard papercut
The bleeding edge of a picture of your parents when they were cool

So much to say I forget to start
There goes the day fading as it passes
Forget the gray let it fall apart
It's OK: I like you in glasses

Shovels in the sand
A Play-Doh 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 the day fading as it passes
Forget the gray let it fall apart
It's OK

It's on the board
Someone's been double booking
I've got time
How is your next week looking?

The house shifts into place
A little breathing space
The radiators and the floor boards 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 the day fading as it passes
Forget the gray let it fall apart

So much to say I forget to start
There goes the day fading as it passes
Forget the gray let it fall apart
It's OK: I like you in glasses
