Eccentrically We Love

You're always waiting for me when I lose my wallet and my keys
You say that they should send me back to the reformatory
I think you just want to see me as the Catholic schoolgirl
With the skirts that bare my knees how eccentrically you love.

You're always sending me lists of things to get done
Things to see you have a work ethic
Reminds me of a pilgrim chopping trees to clear the country take a nap or take a trip Down to the sea I'll come before to how eccentrically you love.

But we are strangers too though I know you through and through
And we're always talking but are we really saying anything we're saying everything so how can we be anything but

You're always saving me before I'm stuck you overworry
You feed me lunch as though I'd waste away I'm getting skinny
How my mouth betrays me when I dig into the plates you buy me
You like to see me hungry how eccentrically you love.

I'm always lending you things I can't spare things I need
I broke my house apart to build a fire so everyone
Could see the bones of how we lived though the ashes stir me sadly
All that's left is yours how relentlessly we love.

I take my time on you
Cause we're the kind of people who deserve the long view

We're always talking but are we really saying anything we're saying everything so how can we be anything but
We're always talking but are we really saying anything we're saying everything so how can we be anything but
We're always talking but are we really saying anything we're saying everything so how can we be anything but
We're always talking but are we really saying anything we're saying everything so how can we be anything but
