This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things

(album: Self Talk - 2016)

This quiet piece of heaven
Birds cut circles out of sky
Below, boredom gets her bitch on
Trash to treasure, white noise

Everytime we meet we fall, everytime we meet we fall apart
(Apart) Falling apart like apples in pieces
(Apart) Running away like water colour stains
(Apart) Falling apart like distant lovers
(Apart) Flown away like paper bags in the rain

And I tied, all these memories
Stacked like semi-precious jewels
Painted by a little forest fire
What were we but tapioca pearls?

Everytime we meet we fall, everytime we meet we fall apart
(Apart) Falling apart like apples in pieces
(Apart) Running away like water colour stains
(Apart) Falling apart like distant lovers
(Apart) Flown away like paper bags in the rain

I saw you on the street I saw you drop her hand
Still a goddam spark that would light cigarettes
Lucky Rome was built on misspelt tattoos
I'll get over you

Cause everytime we meet we fall, everytime we meet we fall apart
Everytime, everytime we meet,
Everytime we meet we fall, everytime we meet we fall apart
Cause everytime we meet

(Apart) Falling apart like apples in pieces
(Apart) Running away like water colour stains
(Apart) Falling apart like distant lovers
(Apart) Flown away like paper bags in the rain
Apart
Apart
