lyrics

Woman with the red scarf around her neck,
here we go.
Long coat and long arms to fill it.
I don't believe in anything more powerful than choices.
You'll never find me trashed;
I don't even think about that.
Don't need anything to make things better.

So we trace circles with our fingertips on each other's spinal cords.
Spell out words like, "Hello, darling."
With words like, "hello" and "darling."

We will learn to need each other.
We will learn to fall.
We will learn to need each other.
We will learn to fall a little.

And I can't wait to tell you
how the wrinkles 'round your eyes make me blush.
And I can't help but realize
that our bodies just get older,
and if we keep leaning over,
we might never feel alive.
