Parquet Courts
Square States
[Verse 1]
"How are you, how have you been?"
It's sad these days I find
We reveal ourselves in checkpoints, not in true moments of life
Now I wander through the awkward pauses that became our new benchmarks of time
Oh, there's no name for this feeling that your absence has defined
[Inaudible]
[Verse 2]
Upon your bedside table lies the graveyard of romance
An empty wrapper weighted by a jar of rocks from France
A necklace used to magnify your eyes the night I made the first advance
Oh, I did it just to break the ice, they needn't be enhanced
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
"How are you, how have you been?"
I practiced on the drive across the square states in between us to see you alive
I imagine that the first glance there would say if there was something to revive
Oh, I got a room in Bozeman, I had three days to arrive
One more time!
