Say that it's over If that's what we need to say In our one bed apartment The street passes through the shade Where we gave it up I watched from the hallway on some afternoon The ghost of us packing up our living room You spoke to me softly, said something we knew The light changed its hue It's leaving us soon Another sort of lantern for you One that only measures to you Put your head on my shoulder And dance by the kitchen sink Where I may not have told you In the blue of the TV screen That you gave me love Is this what you needed to know it was true? Some kind of reminder of something we knew The light changed its hue It's leaving us soon Another sort of lantern for you The kind that really measures to you
