I was 7 years old when
We drew maps of a fire escape from our houses in school
It's unlikely we'll use them
But I worked on the goddamn thing so hard
Cause I knew
And you sigh like it's only a moment of silence
For a tragedy nobody cares about, amen
I'll crawl into bed
Be asleep or pretend you are
I won't mention it again
When we walk through the garden
And you name every plant in that scientist language you know
I guess I'm finding it hard when
It's the birds and the bees and the coniferous trees
And you figure we're just getting old
No
Lord, it's only a moment of silence
For a tragedy nobody cares about, amen
I'll crawl into bed
Be asleep or pretend you are
I won't mention it again
I won't mention it again
I won't mention it again
Like it's all the love we ever had
Again, like you swore it on a bible
And it's "oh it's just a drink you shoulda never had"
Or it's "oh it's up to me to stoop to asking"
And you'll try, aye
Lord, it's only a moment of silence
For a tragedy only I care about, amen
I'll crawl into bed
Be asleep or pretend you are
I won't mention it again
I won't mention it again
