Dates and Dead People

Lyrics for Dates and Dead People

It's like someone you knew, your life long ago Those broken branches say, "Please" Give 'em a wheel, go on through the nighttime You get empty, you'd never say no "It's cold," says the boat, the waves say, "I know" Falling all over themselves They sing about sand, both kinds of lonely And making it up as they go What a life, long ago Dates and dead people, dates and dead people For the love of it all Dates and dead people, dates and dead people Your story is true whenever you need one "Click," says the lock on a door It forgives, it forgets, this woman is warm "Yes," says the window Toasting your dates and dead people That's your hand in the air Lighter than light, it's an empty cloud That gave all it could bear Surely you cried at the right times A tear knows what to do Now your memory of love was dancing The box step with the broom Fire subsides like laughing Ain't that how it goes? There's nothing but devils in a vanity mirror Pick the one that you know You know You know You know What a life, long ago The lesser of evils, threading a needle For the love of it all Dates and dead people, dates and dead people
