Lazy Lovesong

You cried when you saw the picture
 Of my sister when she was seven
 You were wearin' that cotton button-down that now you can't find
 You said that there was a line
 Between love and pain and that it's fine
 How you were right and how I was wrong
 And how I'm learning every day what you told me all along
 So is the price we pay for love
 Missing every day for love
 And always knowing that nothing's ever enough
 Girlfriend can you throw away your manners
 Just for a sentence anyway and tell me what it is you want
 I'll never guess from hints and implications
 You and I we fight enough for two nations
 So is the only thing that holds us together
 The love we share for each other
 And please God won't someone tell me if that's the problem or the answer
 In a hundred years that nightingale will sing
 And you and I will cease to be
 Just like promised Keats
 And all we'll leave behind are wedding rings
 I say hopefully and memories
 In the minds of those we leave behind
 But you and I both know that no one likes to sit around
 And think of the ones they'll soon forget about
 So is the point of all of this
 To find someone to share it with
 Cause I could be poor or sick if you're the one I'm with
