lyrics

it was mid-july
we were sleeping in ’til afternoons
and staying up ’til mornings
we were staying out all night

and feeling for the first time that burden of permanence
that sting of reality
but still insisting we were alright

’cause if we push through it now
we’ll learn to live with the sleeplessness
and the ability to function
when we feel like we could die

and if it works right now
why can’t it work later?
why can’t it work forever?

i was working part-time shifts
pouring coffee
you were seating tables
for the angry overpaid

and if we complained too loud
no one ever seemed to notice
we would toast another night
to justify another day

and we were broke back then
like we’re broke right now
like we’ll be broke forever
but somehow always work it out

and if it works right now
why can’t it work later?
why can’t it work forever?
why can’t it always work out?

i’d get off work at ten
and go way outside fritz’s restaurant
for you to finish sweeping
punch the clock and come outside

and we’d ignore all our friends again
in favor of something intimate
we’d go kiss beneath the railroad bridge
and i’d wonder if we’d survive

’cause we felt good then
but would it feel good tomorrow?
would it feel good forever?
would it last until we die?

if it works right now
why can’t it work later?
why can’t it work later?
why can’t it work forever?

why can’t it work forever?
why can’t it work forever?
why can’t it work forever?
why can’t it work?
