Matt Nathanson – We’ll Recover
I got your letter this morning
I got your letter all right
It claimed clarity but came in screaming
and I was soaked clean through
How could we ever let it get this far?
To leave us nothing, dear, but sickness
Me with mine
and you with yours
And when we can see things clearer
than we think we see them now
Maybe kiss each other sweetly without trying to bite down
Maybe then all this will be better
and maybe then we’ll recover
It’s funny because I promised myself
that this would never happen again
Yeah, I’d been warned
yeah, I’d been told
but it’s these moments of clarity that cripple me most
And when we can see things clearer
than we think we see them now
Maybe kiss each other sweetly without trying to bite down
Maybe then all this will be better
and maybe then we’ll recover
You said I was tiresome
with heels dug deep
reciting my lines
All tarred in make-up
and glazed in light
Oh, and when we can see things clearer
than we think we see them now
Maybe kiss each other sweetly without trying to bite down
Maybe then all this will be better
Maybe then all this will be better
Maybe then all this will be better
and maybe then we’ll recover.
