lyrics

Vinyl cracks, polaroids fade
stereo jacks, turn another page
she said her heart was empty
deserted like a schoolhouse after hours
she said it had been like that for years

memory maps, best plans laid
fill in the gaps, sinking into shade
he said his heart was strong enough
to beat for both of them
he said he'd never leave her sight

volume to max, she said
her eyes jade, her head felt heavy,
skip amongst the tracks
overloaded like a sad mule on a trail
child of another age, she said
it felt like that for years

vinyl cracks, he said, she said
polaroids fade, together they played
stereo jacks, their little games
another page of cat and mouse
memory maps, and hard and house
best laid plans
of love
and loss
and gain.
