Just Sign The Papers

At a big wooden table in an office off of Ann Street

It might as well be the ocean for as far as you feel from me

But honey, baby, please

Shit, I'm sorry

I didn't mean to call you honey

I trace the grain with my finger

Keep my eyes low, stir my coffee

I should have let you go sooner

I know that I made this harder than it had to be

And I'm sorry, I've been the same asshole since you met me

You were the tail lights, like a lifeline when the storm arrived

I followed you all night, 'til the rain died, like a long goodbye

I tune out while the lawyers start to rewrite all our history

The things that we built together get torn down brick by brick and dispersed out evenly

Burn the memories

Spread the ashes over Fort Greene

You were the tail lights, like a lifeline when the storm arrived

I followed you all night, 'til the rain died, like a long goodbye

And then at sunrise, in the daylight, I watched as you pulled aside

I loved you like tail lights, like a lifeline, like a long goodbye

C-Come on, just sign the papers

Don't make me stay in the room

I don't want this to be the way that I remember you

C-Come on, just sign the papers

Don't make me stay in the room

In a slant of sunlight I watched pools of ink dry blue

C-Come on, just sign the papers

Don't make me stay in the room

I can't keep my hands steady but I press my pen down too

C-Come on, just sign the papers

Don't make me stay in the room

From the end of my name I swore I saw daylilies bloom

C-come on, just sign the papers

Let's find an end to the gloom

I'm sorry for every single thing I put you through
