Lovers A New Lease on Life Lyrics

i keep it written on a locket and pinned into my jacket pocket, these silver shapes who spell your name loom around. and i sing it to myself so i don't forget the sound. i took a chance on highway driving with the sadness packed in to the side of me that planted pills in the beautiful garden i grew of love for you, oh how i watered it with tears so blue. see i knew a girl who never cried, so i painted my room the color of her eyes. like a fortress, or a blown up portrait in blue, or some strange womb or tearless tomb. it's easy now just forget about it. i start again every day without it. with a new lease on life, i'll forget about it. but it's all around still. a new lease on life, i've forgotten, i've off-ed it. i can see you through the window light. me and the shadow-kids go dumpster diving all for nothing, we'll still go hungry tonight. the world outside is silver-white. but it's easy now to forget about it. i start again every day without it. i've a new lease on life, i'd forget about it but it's all around still. i've a new lease on life, i've forgotten. i promise. i promise.
