verse 1 I could leave it. I could take it. It all seems a little boring. The love we could be making if some people didn’t warn us. I should know. I should know. I should consider it important. I could leave it. I could take it. I could go live in a forest. verse 2 Cut the wood. Get the water. Make my home important. Day and night we’ll burn a fire and being near will warm us from all the darkness and the losses. The existential causes playing out inside my head. Packed away in tiny boxes. verse 3 And this year, it’s been a mess. I’ve seen you wear that dress before. It’s a story, just a story, but it comes back every morning. I got a couple pieces left, and I won’t stand to meet my death. Yeah I can read your mind on long walks with cigarettes. verse 4 And trouble lives in love it’s true. I’ve always had trouble with you. You said so long, I wish you well. Please don’t ask me for good news. There’s nothing good that I can tell. I really hate to be so rude. I only ever told the truth. I only loved the thought of you. verse 5 I could leave it. I could take it. It all seems a little fake. The love we could be making if I ever got my way. I should know. I should know. I should consider it important. I could leave it. I could take it. I could go live in the forest.
