I haven't paid my phone bill
Since the water ran out
Can't put petrol in my car
Gotta stay in the house
Granddad's had his eyes done
They're healing okay
I had rim 'round for dinner
And he stopped me to say
"Son, I can't see but I know you've got tall
Thanks for the food, I love you, that's all"
And I feel more like I'm different
Each time I come home
Feel more like I'm stagnant
When you tell me I've grown
Talking to Matthew
He's telling me he's fine
As he swallows the crying
He's trying so hard to hide
He gets upset when the tears will fall
But that's okay, I love you, that's all
When I lived in a postcard
That I couldn't send
You were waiting for painting
And metal to bend
You helped me when I landed
Down from the air
You said "your bones , your skin, your hair"
And what once was enormous is now perfectly small
You're here, I love you, that's all
There's a man on the TV
Says to "love my neighbour"
But he goes home past his gateway
And he slams his front door
The next program shows him
He points at a map
He says "these lines are final, why do you think it's a trap?"
He got excited as the sky starts to fall
On the side of a missile "God loves you, that's all"
Now our love is changing
We're both people now I know
Things to remember, things to let go
One size to carry
Laughter to hold
To keep throwing back up into the toilet bowl
Close your eyes my favourite darling girl
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, that's all
Since the water ran out
Can't put petrol in my car
Gotta stay in the house
