They Oughta Put Us In Lights

I am haunted by the idea I could have said nothing
I am haunted by the idea you could have said no
I’m confounded by how easily you became everything
I miss you every moment that I’m not at home

I am haunted by how easily I could ignore
Everything that I knew but I didn’t know
I never met a feeling I couldn’t run from
No one ever made me stand still and face them before

And I can only apologise to every love song I ever despised ‘cos

They oughta write about us
They oughta put us in lights
And I don’t care if that sounds trite
And I don’t care if this makes all my friends barf
I’m still looking for the words to share
Guess since I met you I’ve been drowning in idioms
And that’s fine, just as long as you’re there

I am grateful every day that I said something
I am grateful every day that you said yes
Nothing about all of this makes sense to me
I wouldn’t settle for anything less

And I can only apologise to every love song I ever despised ‘cos

They oughta write about us
They oughta put us in lights
And I don’t care if that sounds trite
And I don’t care if this makes all my friends barf
I’m still looking for the words to share
Guess since I met you I’ve been drowning in idioms
And that’s fine, just as long as you’re there

I am grateful every day
