Lovers - A New Lease On Life lyrics

rate me

I keep it written on a locket and pinned into my jacket

Pocket, these silver shapes who spell your name loom

Around. and I sing it to myself so I don't forget the

Sound. I took a chance on highway driving with the

Sadness packed in to the side of me that planted pills in

The beautiful garden I grew of love for you, oh how I

Watered it with tears so blue. see I knew a girl who

Never cried, so I painted my room the color of her eyes.

Like a fortress, or a blown up portrait in blue, or some

Strange womb or tearless tomb. it's easy now just forget

About it. I start again every day without it. with a new

Lease on life, I'll forget about it. but it's all around

Still. a new lease on life, I've forgotten, I've off-ed

It. I can see you through the window light. me and the

Shadow-kids go dumpster diving all for nothing, we'll

Still go hungry tonight. the world outside is silver-

White. but it's easy now to forget about it. I start

Again every day without it. I've a new lease on life, I'd

Forget about it but it's all around still. I've a new

Lease on life, I've forgotten. I promise. I promise.
