lyrics

Tell her not to meet you in the evening
There's somewhere else that she would rather be
She touches everything in your apartment
And gets you certain medicine for free

Playing a game of salutations
That feels like a game of telephone
But she's into theme and deviation
Playing a game that's just her own

Tell her you could see her in the daytime
She's welcome if she wants to hang around
The shapes that she was making in the sunshine
Deforming as the sun is going down

Time is not the same to you
Time is not to blame
There isn't any shame to you
Isn't that a shame?

But I've got things to say to you
Running for the train
Never on my way to you
Running through your veins

You think that she should be
Lonely just for you
Does anything come free that she should be
Only just for you?

Tell her not to meet you on a Sunday
There's too much time for her to leave
Waving to the children from the runway
There's too many things they must believe

Pleasantly she waits for you
At the pearly gates for you

Pretty sure you have a reservation
But you'd like to visit with her soon
But she's into shade and revelation
Changing like the phases of the moon
