lyrics

Big Black Second-Hand Book

That big black second-hand book
That you swear keeps you safe
Gathers dust in the stay-at-home gloom
Time to be what you hate
Because it almost works
When you set aside your doubts and quirks
When you set aside the love that’s here
Those big words that you don’t mean
And all the love you can’t take
You never do the reasonable thing
And I can’t be your mistake
Because it almost works
When you set aside your doubts and quirks
When you set aside the love that hurts
Can’t you see us trying?
(All my love just overflows, each time I am all alone)
