Weakerthans - Sun In An Empty Room

Weakerthans

Sun In An Empty Room

Now that the furniture's returning to its Goodwill home,
with dishes in last week's papers-
rumours and elections, crosswords, an unending war-
that blacken our fingers, smear their prints on every door pulled shut.
Now that the last month's rent is scheming with the damage deposit,
take this moment to decide
if we meant it, if we tried,
or felt around for far too much
from things that accidentally touched.

The hands that we nearly hold with pennies for the GST,
the shoulders we lean our shoulders into on the subway,
mutter an apology.
The shins that we kick beneath the table, that reflexive cry.
The faces we meet one awkward beat too long and terrify,
know that the things we need to say
have been said already anyway,
by parallelograms of light
on walls that we repainted white.

So take eight minutes and divide
by ninety million lonley miles,
and watch a shadow cross the floor.
We don't live here anymore.

Mirror lyrics:

We don't live here anymore.
and watch a shadow cross the floor.
by ninety million lonley miles,
So take eight minutes and divide

on walls that we repainted white.
by parallelograms of light
have been said already anyway,
know that the things we need to say
The faces we meet one awkward beat too long and terrify,
The shins that we kick beneath the table, that reflexive cry.
mutter an apology.
the shoulders we lean our shoulders into on the subway,
The hands that we nearly hold with pennies for the GST,

from things that accidentally touched.
or felt around for far too much
if we meant it, if we tried,
take this moment to decide
Now that the last month's rent is scheming with the damage deposit,
that blacken our fingers, smear their prints on every door pulled shut.
rumours and elections, crosswords, an unending war-
with dishes in last week's papers-
Now that the furniture's returning to its Goodwill home,
