lyrics

Your favorite thing to do was watch the strangers throwing frisbees in the park
You died at 26 of undiagnosed arrhythmia
I died at home in the dark

When I arrived in the afterlife, your smile lit up the howling void
"You're finally here!" you held me tight, but
I knew one thing we couldn't avoid

Eight years of frantic dreams and youthful highs
Versus forty-seven years of loving sighs
[Eternity amplifies our worst intents]
I have to make a choice between two best friends
May this bizarre afterlife love triangle end

Your favorite place was a quiet room with a chessboard and a tall white wine
You held me close as my spirit left my body
After a full life at seventy-nine

You showed up at the right wrong moment
Our lips deep engaged in a kiss
"I always knew this would break my heart"
You said, "but not shatter like this"

That was the longest night, the darkest fight
What does the dawn owe to the moonlight?
The past fights the present in black and white
You're treating me like a copyright!

Well, we said til death do make us part
Never dreamed we'd be put through a second start
Now there's three shattered pieces of two broken hearts
Who once said til death do make us part!

Guess it's easy to make an arrangement with too much time on your hands
You get me Monday and Saturday
The other five days you make plans

Sometimes I catch you crying when you think I'm asleep, sometimes you stare off in a haze
Guess nobody got exactly what they wanted
But is that never not the case?
