I’m sweeping up every part of myself I’ll remember it all Confusion on the dance floor The pumping sounds from chairs that broke So we put them back together And everytime that someone else Fell victim to it’s crumbling We laughed and laughed and laughed again Too hungover to care to dream Of days that are less than cold Over ourselves like long-lost sons If every Sunday is prodigal Leave it that way, it’s possible That romance isn’t what we made it Because the doctor called you out For eating birthday cake on weekdays Like a hooligan from Harlem But we were all perched on the countertop Hey, baked goods for brunch Post-party depression You said you preferred to wash the dishes Because the local watering hole comes from a faucet And mixes well with the dish soap Sundays with rolling turning thunder Rollicking under the floorboards A trembling pair of washed-up dress shoes But the trees stay silent.

Soap & Dishes
I’m sweeping up every part of myself I’ll remember it all Confusion on the dance floor The pumping sounds from chairs that broke So we put them back together And everytime that someone else Fell victim to it’s crumbling We laughed and laughed and laughed again Too hungover to care to dream Of days that are less than cold Over ourselves like long-lost sons If every Sunday is prodigal Leave it that way, it’s possible That romance isn’t what we made it Because the doctor called you out For eating birthday cake on weekdays Like a hooligan from Harlem But we were all perched on the countertop Hey, baked goods for brunch Post-party depression You said you preferred to wash the dishes Because the local watering hole comes from a faucet And mixes well with the dish soap Sundays with rolling turning thunder Rollicking under the floorboards A trembling pair of washed-up dress shoes But the trees stay silent.
