Calling And Not Calling My Ex - Okkervil River[00:00:00]
She was once mine[00:00:11]
That smile that shines from the glossy magazine that[00:00:13]
Stuck inside the Sunday Times[00:00:18]
She was so sweet on Christmas Eve[00:00:22]
With the snow set deep[00:00:27]
When we went walking through the pines[00:00:29]
I had just been fired and her first offer had arrived[00:00:33]
And the new year would see her flying far away from me[00:00:38]
Though I didn't know it at the time[00:00:43]
With outstretched hands[00:00:56]
Now she commands[00:00:58]
A famous figure for every picture[00:01:01]
And she stands up strong and she demands[00:01:07]
And they deliver[00:01:13]
Yeah she's a fixture[00:01:15]
And it's a mixture of dumb jealousy and fear that[00:01:18]
I might feel should she appear[00:01:23]
Just like it hasn't been three years[00:01:26]
And there's a distance to her voice over[00:01:30]
The phone and that's because she stands alone[00:01:33]
While I'm still sitting here[00:01:38]
Girl you see me here on another quiet night[00:01:44]
I will wait until another indistinguishable day arrives[00:01:49]
I'll decide where the light's even and bright[00:01:56]
Where my life's sweet as it's slightly disappointedly[00:02:00]
Just gliding softly by[00:02:05]
And you won't wait for me in some secluded stand of trees[00:02:11]
Some Christmas Eve some god was kind enough to set aside[00:02:15]
Although I'd love you to I'm proud of you[00:02:21]
God knows I'm feeling really stupid now[00:02:25]
For having ever said goodbye[00:02:30]
During the fight[00:02:42]
I said "Yeah right"[00:02:45]
When you insisted that I visit that you'd write[00:02:48]
Now I know you're working hard so[00:02:53]
I never hear from you and that's fine[00:02:56]
You look the same on TV as when you were mine[00:03:00]
I walk in from the kitchen and I finger the remote control[00:03:07]
I watch you from the distance[00:03:19]
You go walking through the terminal[00:03:24]
I remember ever instance when you stung me[00:03:31]
Oh you're so lovely[00:03:40]
Oh you're so smart[00:03:43]
So go turn their heads go knock them dead[00:03:48]
Go break their hearts[00:03:52]
Go break their hearts[00:03:58]
Baby break their hearts[00:04:03]
And I know you will[00:04:08]
