Apart Together

(album: Apart Together - 2020)

KCRW
On the way to a show
Heard the story of an elderly couple
Found dead in their mobile home
They'd been there a month they say
Seemed to be no decay
I guess the upside of freezing to death
Is that you tend to stay that way
Locked in each other's arms
Eyes closed and faces calm
They may have lain there 'til spring
If it weren't for the ping of their smoke alarm
God sure works in mysterious ways
Died of power bills left unpaid
Found by a neighbour who heard the ping
Dropped around offering
Double As

I think this could last forever
Girl, let's fall apart together

I can handle the entropy
If you promise to stay with me
I give you my heart knowing things fall apart
Praying you will decay with me

Locked in each other's arms
Eyes closed and faces calm
In the morning a new life will dawn
So maybe don't set the alarm

Baby, I think this could last forever
Girl, let's fall apart together
Girl, let's fall apart together
