On Ex-Husbands and Wives - Quiet Company

This is weird, don’t you think?

How I used to have a wife

Now I’ve only got a roommate?

Weird, don’t you think?

How we used to hang so tightly

Now we just can’t come together on anything?

How I never thought I’d run from you

But I’ve been living in the other room?

This is weird, don’t you think?

How you used to have a husband

Now there’s just a fucking ghost in the halls?

And he’s trapped inside the house, yeah

He’s tethered to the memories of love between these walls

And I think he’s gonna linger

At least until the summer or the fall

And I think that he’ll probably never really be free again

Yeah, I’ll probably never really be free again

Now there’s an angel or a demon in my room

And I confess that I can’t tell the difference

She looks a lot like you

Sounds a little bit like you too

And she whispers, «It's gonna be okay»

I don’t know if that’s the truth

Or just some cruel, strangely-elaborate prank

But either way, I don’t believe her

'Cause hope turns to poison in my ears

As I’m sitting here, alone at the end of my rope

And it’s deeply frustrating, yeah

Talk is cheap, no, maybe I should call up an ex

And see if she wants to reconnect

No, there’s probably plenty of other eligible bachelorettes

Right around here that I can ruin relationships with tonight

But time is on our side

Time is on our side

Time is on our side, I guess

If you can keep it together, keep it together, you’re fine

If you can keep it together, just keep it together, you’re fine

Because one way or another, for better or worse

This too is gonna pass

This too is gonna pass

This too is gonna pass

And if you can keep it together, keep it together, you’re fine

If you can keep it together, just keep it together, you’re fine

Because one way or another, for better or worse

This too is gonna pass

This too is gonna pass

This too is gonna pass

It’s gonna pass

It’s gonna pass

It’s gonna pass, I guess
