When I heard you, I could have swornThat God was panting downWhen I heard you, I could have sworn That God was panting down at the bottom of the stairsHe said, There's something that I need to tell you,Something I need to tell you now that I've Found you in this gift shop garbage can.I never thought you'd be here this long.We'd hop into the giraffe's spilled milk in our living roomAnd from a little cavern formed a merry yellow tavernWatch the weekends collapseWhile all along we could have just simmered in the sauce panSo that we could push the skin at our wordsYes, we'd pull at them like some stupid thingThe last I heard, the last I heard around the cornerThe last I heard, the last I heard, I was yellingBe three years old, I dare you! Let's call out this faulted pretty garment for what it isShouted all the names that we knowAnd hope that one of them lands correctlyOn and onWhen I heard you, I could have swornThat God was panting downWhen I heard you, I could have sworn That God was panting down at the bottom of the stairsHe said, There's something that I need to tell you,Something I need to tell you now that I've Found out if I ever really cared.I never should have been here this long. I never should have.All the kisses on the bleating horsesBiggest rooms in the smallest housesAnd on and on, and on and on
