Glasses (Live 2014)

Lyrics

One, two, three
 ♪
 Shed the days like skin
 Pray for evenings in
 Hold their hands in the street when you walk them off to school
 A box too full to shut
 Cardboard paper cut
 Bleeding edge of a picture of your parents when they were cool
 So much to say, I forget to start
 There goes a day, fading as it passes
 Forget the grey, let it fall apart
 It's okay
 I like you in glasses
 Shovels in the sand
 A Play-Doh wedding band
 A drowning princess in a tangle of towels on the floor
 An old familiar ache
 The little pills we take
 The thoughtless kindness of a coffee cup waiting by the door
 So much to say, I forget to start
 There goes a day, fading as it passes
 Forget the grey, let it fall apart
 It's okay
 It's on the board
 Someone's been double-booking
 I've got time
 How is your next week looking?
 House shifts into place
 A little breathing space
 The radiators and the floorboards will argue while we sleep
 There's water in the walls
 The stairs make waterfalls
 Down in the basement the soft sound of a river digging deep
 So much to say, I forget to start
 There goes a day, fading as it passes
 Forget the grey, let it fall apart
 So much to say, I forget to start
 There goes a day, fading as it passes
 Forget the grey, let it fall apart
 It's okay
 I like you in glasses
 Thank you
