lyrics

We came like cockroaches + waited out the apocalypse.
We met over birthday cake + broken hearts + silence.
We were here, did you forget? But I mean, you get me--didn't you?

I try to walk off the pavement every single chance that I get.
Ugly, but it's natural, so let's go back there. Let's make jokes at our own expense.
And we'll be special to no one except the door + maybe the ceiling, too.

So why don't we keep talking, so that oblivion don't swallow us too soon?
Let's keep talking so as to keep the time + from rushing out the room.

We came like we'll go: quiet, passive, microscopic, sore with
the realization that the world, my love, isn't ending.
And maybe I've idealized, but I wouldn't lie--it can't have been a waste of time.
And I still take mine.
