Matilda / Strawberry Water Lyrics

So, here we meet

Somewhere in-between bad ideas and domestic dreams

What did we do when we acted so stupidly

Fumbling for blame

Wondering how making repeated mistakes always makes us feel the same

You'd think that we'd learn

We'd think it too

(If we weren't so set on having the least to prove)

Lights out

Show's over

Let's go home

We speak in footnotes that bend from intention to meaning to careening to an end

Never reaching the sense that we intend

Nor the well wishes we meant to share when we left

Lights out

Show's over

Let's go home

On the corner of Shoreham and Matilda

We fester like the smell of blood after it's been cleaned up

Did I make it seem easy as if to talk wouldn't please me

There's a new feeling to me calling you to be better for somebody else

Our heads stacked, we double-back

Abusing our weak spots and the courage we lack

A new year, new harms

Revelling in matching scars and junk hearts

On the corner of Shoreham and Matilda

We fester like the smell of blood after it's been cleaned up

Did I make it seem easy as if to talk wouldn't please me

There's a new feeling to me calling you to be better for somebody else
