We Married Strangers

The blood that trickles towards my elbow

Looks like a map of anaheim

What used to be the bathroom mirror

Is speckled red with highway five

You look for eyes to reassure you

I’m staring holes into the ground

You’ve fifty faces there to choose from

But none of us can make a sound

So let’s begin, oh, let’s begin again

To fall in love, to fall in love again

Let’s begin, oh, let’s begin again

We married young, we married strangers

In front of family and our friends

No warning signs about the changes

No one told us we’d forget

The love I see there on our faces

In all those photos in the hall

That smile I couldn’t seem to straighten

A hope that swore we’d never fall

So let’s begin, oh, let’s begin again

To fall in love, to fall in love again

Let’s begin, oh, let’s begin again

So help me out, I’m quickly losing myself

Help me out, I think I’m losing you
