lyrics

It was in the moment when we sat down on the curb and we started to talk about all that we might do
There was little in the way of us knowing where we might both end up when all of this was through
It all ended with and optimistic song about how “If this is it, it still hurst like hell”
We sand it in to a microphone we set up in the bath room of a China Town hotel
Somehow we both could tell
It was already done with
And somehow we both knew
Later on when it became clear that we were in trouble, and one of us might have to move
It was completely effortless, decision made for us, neither of us would have to choose
Enter legal documents to allow the two of us to live in one place
We had to prove with testimony, receipts, and photos. Lawyer up to prove our case
We were both on the same page
It was already done with
And somehow we both knew
And now it’s so funny to think back about that old studio we made, make-shift in our room
Singing along, the mattress flipped up, we’ve got our headphones on, carrying on like fools
Cause somehow we both knew
It was already done with
And somehow we both knew
