lyrics
In their own way
They lived a low life
in their own way
they took a chance
being content without contention
nameless graves
your ashtrays empty yet
never a word against me
I miss the faces of those I’ve never had the courage to go see
In your own way
you made a bold move
sleeping at my place
dreaming of your mother’s room
spending money on trains and
Paris never taught you anything
but a language that you tried
so hard to love
until I told you to give up
In our own way
we lived the sweet life
watching the paint
letting our feet dry
after walks in the rain No-
vember afternoons
you said “there’s thousands of alleys
that’ll never see our frozen breath rise
or the oceans
that separate us”
They lived a low life
in their own way
they took a chance
being content without contention
nameless graves
your ashtrays empty yet
never a word against me
I miss the faces of those I’ve never had the courage to go see
In your own way
you made a bold move
sleeping at my place
dreaming of your mother’s room
spending money on trains and
Paris never taught you anything
but a language that you tried
so hard to love
until I told you to give up
In our own way
we lived the sweet life
watching the paint
letting our feet dry
after walks in the rain No-
vember afternoons
you said “there’s thousands of alleys
that’ll never see our frozen breath rise
or the oceans
that separate us”
