Lyrics
I’ve been moving boxes of all our things
Family heirlooms that never got to age
Seems our private moments have been erased
Taped over with sitcoms and football games
We say we’re sorry just a little too much
And even though we parted should we try to stay in touch?
What about our old friends - Mine and yours
Who came out for the wedding and back for the divorce
I can see that they’re nervous choosing a side
The usher is waiting - Groom or the bride?
We say we’re sorry just a little too much
And even though we parted should we try to stay in touch?
How much can you handle?
How much can you take?
We sit in silence and at night we lie awake
What about our parents, for the whole of their lives
Did they keep any secrets from you or I?
How did they stay perfect?
How did they stay whole?
I guess they were in this together growing old
Now we say we’re sorry just a little too much
And even though we parted should we try to stay in touch?
How much can you handle?
Well here’s something new
A crowd divided casts a doubt among the pews
And just like something can be comfort food
I still wake in the morning expecting you
How did we get vicious?
How did we get cold?
I thought we were in this together growing old
Now we say we’re sorry just a little too much
And even though we parted should we try to stay in touch?
How much can you handle?
How much can you take?
We sit in silence and at night we lie awake
