"Water And Oil" lyrics

If we make it through the winter
We will trace out pictures in the snow
And we'll name them like our old toys
Windows to a language only we know

It's the strangest architecture
How we're building up our trust
Watch us wash the salt off of your old car
Although it was only there to help us

It was all that we had and we blew it
We put water and oil on the fire
We said things we can't defend and let them hang there
We got so-o-o-o-o o-o-o-o-old

I am always making big plans
That is all they ever are
Now I miss you like I miss a train
And I'm circling the drain, I am circling the drain

It was all that we had and we blew it
We put water and oil on the fire
We said things we can't defend and let them hang there
We got so-o-o-o-o o-o-o-o-old
We got so-o-o-o-o o-o-o-o-old

The moon phased in through the passenger window
The whole world struggling to breathe
I was tired, I was shot
I'm always okay til I'm not
It was autumn, it was time
It was three years of my life

And it was all that we had and we blew it
We put water and oil on the fire
We made up and then we lied and said we meant it
We got so-o-o-o-o o-o-o-o-old
We got so-o-o-o-o o-o-o-o-old
We got so-o-o-o-o o-o-o-o-old
