You & Your Girlfriend Songtext
von Widemouth

Talking to me while I′m cooking you dinner
All about Isa, sitting at the counter
Said being with her makes you feel older
And that's why you like her so much

Christmas lights and the oil is crackling
High school′s right here in the walls of this kitchen
Remember the box dye at three in the morning
Turning your hands bright red

When we raced on the freeway and split off and went home
I think you said you loved me but I really don't know at all
You just sat up back to the wall and you cried
Hands on your temples
That's what I recall


The first night alone in the woods in New Hampshire
You told us your girlfriend was not a good person
With fear in your eyes like a dog on the 4th
None of us knew what to say

We drove into town in the morning for groceries
Isaac had got this idea about sharing
A financial commune, retire together
Thought he would do us a favor

And now a moment of silence for all we′ve been given
The four of us flat on our backs in the river and then
When we came down and made ourselves dinner
The fear had laid down at our feet

Laying face down on the beach in Chicago
Isa′s been asking you all types of questions
Like if you still think that she's pretty enough
And whether I still make you cry

And now a moment of silence for you and your girlfriend
I think that I′m letting you slip through my fingers, but hey
In the interest of pooling our money
I'll hold on as long as I can
