lyrics

Met her at the farmer’s market
Reaching for the same misshapen fruit
Our eyes met across the pears
Then three months later, we were through
Our love eroded quickly like
The topsoil swept away by the rain

She was like a soaring bird
And I was the squirrel on the ground
Just one feeder in the yard
But plenty of seeds to go around
We both wanted the same thing
But I was scrambling as she flew away

What is dust?
What is grime?
What’s the difference between soil and dirt?
Has the dirt just been displaced by time?
You
And I
Who’d have thought that we would grow apart?

Now I lie awake in squalor
Haunted by the specter of a filthy man
Both of us have broken hearts
And neither of us think we’ll ever love again
He stopped bathing when she died
But I stopped living even though I’m still alive

What is dust?
What is grime?
What’s the difference between soil and dirt?
Has the dirt just been displaced by time?
You
And I
Who’d have thought that we would grow apart?
