Just Sign the Papers

At a big wooden table
 In an office off Ann Street
 It might as well be the ocean
 For as far as you feel from me
 But honey, baby, please
 Shit, I'm sorry
 I didn't mean to call you honey
 I trace the grain with my finger
 Keep my eyes low, stir my coffee
 I shoulda let you go sooner
 I know that I made this harder than it had to be
 And I'm sorry
 I've been the same asshole since you met me
 You were the tail lights, like a lifeline
 When the storm arrived
 I followed you all night till the rain died
 Like a long goodbye
 I tune out while the lawyers
 Start to rewrite all our history
 The things that we built together
 Get torn down brick by brick and dispersed out evenly
 Burn the memories
 Spread the ashes over Fort Greene
 You were the tail lights, like a lifeline
 When the storm arrived
 I followed you all night till the rain died
 Like a long goodbye
 And then at sunrise in the daylight
 I watched as you pull aside
 I loved you like taillights, like a lifeline
 Like a long goodbye
 C-come on, just sign the papers
 Don't make me stay in the room
 I don't want this to be the way that I remember you
 C-come on, just sign the papers
 Don't make me stay in the room
 In a slant of sunlight I watch pools of ink dry blue
 C-come on, just sign the papers
 Don't make me stay in the room
 I can't keep my hands steady but I press my pen down too
 C-come on, just sign the papers
 Don't make me stay in the room
 From the end of my name I swore I saw daylilies bloom
 C-come on, just sign the papers
 Let's find an end to the gloom
 I'm sorry for every single thing I put you through
