Lyrics

Should I put some more wood on the fire?
Should I put some more wood on the fire?
Or should we snuff it out?
Are you too tired?

Did you see the bird land on the wire?
Was that another lizard on the tile?
Should we shut him out
Or let him stick around a while?

All in all an ‘I’ without remainder
Like a violet to the nose it was a favor
Sometimes to shut it down
So that we might savor
Again and again

You sat there peeling clementines
While I knew I was clinging to a version of you
And our love that we had run through
Unfamiliar beds and bathrooms
Layovers and foreign half moons
Holding on to a ghost already gone

Should I put some more wood on the fire?
Should I put some more wood on the fire?
Or should we snuff it out?
Are you too tired?
