Courtesy Greetings

(album: Figure - 2020)

Form to find our confrontation in the East Room
It's about time I fessed up
Delay the process while I pick up your tab
And leave the bar anxious and messed up
It's about time I come to terms with who I've become
You see, no one talks about the terms until the damage is done
So, it's So Long. I'm sorry. I owe you so much more
Resurface, repurpose but slowly close the door

We're falling apart but insisting that everything's fine
Sharing courtesy greetings confirming we're nice but not kind

I walk in circles leaving threads instead of carpet
I walk this path alone
But, we found a light inside a nice place to hide
And scrubbed our numbers from a pair of telephones
Returning furniture, I fell beneath a blank stare
A coffee and a cure
To press on and press on and press on and press on
And press on to ponder if you're there

We're falling apart but insisting that everything's fine
Sharing courtesy greetings confirming we're nice but not kind
Falling apart but insisting that everything's fine
Sharing courtesy greetings. Just courtesy greetings

Agree to disagree that our karma is fair, not always right
For dimensions we saved and decisions we've made
It's just too late to say that our twenties had held on too tight
Our twenties had held on too tight
Our twenties had held on too tight

It's about time I come to terms with who I've become
You see, no one talks about the terms until the damage is done

We were a common goal, we were a sight to see
Both treading lightly on the basis of humility
For everything we've done and every common ground
It's best to not turn around
It's best to not turn around
Sharing courtesy greetings confirming we're nice but not kind
Falling apart but insisting that everything's fine
Sharing courtesy greetings. Just courtesy greetings

So long I'm sorry I owe you so much more
(Falling apart but insisting that everything's fine)
Resurface, repurpose but slowly close the door
(Sharing courtesy greetings confirming we're nice, but not)
