Morning Clothes - Jetty Bones

Get out of your mourning clothes

You can’t stay in bed all day

Even though I want to

I know I said that I needed this

But it seems good things must always slip away

And as for the necessities that I buried in my bones

They’re not that far away

In a place that’s not my home

I won’t forget how we always said that we needed this

And I know that I always promised

That through thick and thin we would remain friends

And in spite of this, you know I never meant to be dishonest

When I was swimming in those dark waters

You pulled me from that lake

I swear you meant the world to me

Even when I such an awful mess of things

So now comes the consequence that I know we both must face

(Of our actions)

And just because something is just

Doesn’t mean that it feels fair

I won’t forget how we always said that we needed this

I know that I always promised

That through thick and thin we would remain friends

And in spite of this, you know I never meant to be dishonest
