lyrics

It's not the cold that wants to creep into my bed
I've got a fleece blanket to keep me warm instead
It's not the endless conversation
That one day came to an end
I've got a good book about robots in the future that my brother gave me
And the phone number of every friend
It's not the notion of forever
We never bought the fantasy so callow and trite
We'd both learned the hard way, "love will come to an end"
So why am I so surprised we were right?

Ripe with desire
It don't sit right but I stand corrected
If love is a fire,
Then we lift a foot, kick the soot
Watch us as we stomp it out
We stomp it out
We stomp it out

Laughed a lot, never fought
Always kept composure
Always good at keeping smart even from the start
Never let our feet off the ground

On that day we took a vow
Said, "Not forever, it's just for now"
"Now" it seems came and went
What is left when "now" is spent?
I don't feel the resolution
Just calculated execution
I might take back all I said
What if I wanna lose my head?
(Kept composure, feet on the ground)
Maybe I wanna cry and scream,
Grippin' to a dyin' dream
I'll go down with the ship
No life preserver on my hip
(Not forever, just for now)
Maybe I'd like to argue
Just so I can talk to you
I think we should stay upset
Once we're not, there's nothing left
(On that day, took a vow)
It's not the cold or silence here,
Not the empty atmosphere,
Not the missing conversation
Or instant physical sensation
(Not forever, just for now)
Not the love or lack there of
It's a little bit all the above
It's the tiny voice inside my chest,
Shrinking til in peace it rests

Ripe with desire
It don't sit right but I stand corrected
If love is a fire,
Then we lift a foot, kick the soot
Watch us as we stomp it out
We stomp it out
We stomp it out
