Tiny Skeletons

Our favorite game was to count the eyelashes

That fell on my cheeks whenever you got a little anxious

You said it seems so strange that you can feel all my pain

I just smiled and walked away

I dreamed of leaving you today

Leaving you today

Later that same day

I was still thinking of running away

You said my eyelashes reminded you of tiny ribcages

You said if we'd saved everyone since this had all begun

We'd have 100 sons

A hundred sons, 100 sons

I said my dear I think you're wrong

Go and look what we have done

We've made a whole lot of skeletons

But there's nothing to hold onto

I've seen my bones fit together

With all sorts of people in all sorts of weather

But they have to get up and go, and they have to be on their own

On their own

'Cause you've got the brains and I've got the heart

Ian Curtis said it would tear us apart

But it's tearing me in two

Oh I want to think of you,

I do I do I do, I do I do I do

But I'm thinking of my bones

They want to get up and go

They want to be on their own, they want to be on their own

Well I do
