wish i could plan
another nervous breakdown

but i checked the dates
i looked, anna
and sadly, i'm pretty booked

i miss
our midlife crisis
be glad to have a new one
but it's late and honestly, anna
i can't find the energy

me on the red carpet, curled up there
you on some bridge downtown
this skin's the only thing i have to wear
it's white as a wedding gown now

you on the red carpet, curled up there
me on some bridge downtown
this skin's the only thing we have to wear
it's white as a cotton shroud now

tried it
keepin' it private
i know you wanna hide it
but this head's no hiding place
too crowded for you just to have some space
