When I Take out the Garbage at Night

When I take out the garbage at night
 I'm not with you then exactly
 I'm with the universe
 And with the lighting and thunder coming in over the mountains
 But when I walk back into the house
 ♪
 Looking up at the window from the back step
 The dark window of the room that you died in
 The big empty room on the second floor
 Cold because I won't close the window
 Just in case something still needs to leave
 I stand in the yard and look up
 ♪
 And the dark rectangle glares your face
 All of our moments condensed into a thunderclap
 ♪
 When I take out the garbage at night
 And then have to go back in and live on
