Intro
Verse 1
2: (0:17)
It was in your basement apartment
with all of its earth and sea
making love on the carpet
under the light of the tv
outside the sour moon minstrels
shook their dark tambourines
the morning came in sinister
well window light menacing
Chorus 1
(0:53)
with clouds up above
and clouds down below
killing time but it won't stand still
it won't stand still
Verse 3
4: (1:13)
I told you never make a promise (Emily)
A promise I can keep (Emily)
I thanked you for being honest (Jason)
I told you, don't pull that shit on me (Emily)
these are the hangover days (Jason)
of frosted glass and metallic gleam (Jason)
all these new non-places (Emily)
they erase your memory (Emily)
Chorus 2
(1:50) (Both)
we try so hard,
we try so hard
we try so hard to love
we try so hard to love
Verse 5
6: (2:29)
It was underneath London bridge
I finally realized what you mean
meanwhile all of fashion's latest
were nipping at the heels of history
I tried to send you a postcard
but all you could write were apologies (Emily)
so out the Columbia hotel window
I threw my heart into the street (Both)
Chorus 3
(3:05) (Both)
with stars up above
and stars down below
killing time but it won't stand still
it won't stand still
Outro
(3:23) (Both)
we try so hard,
we try so hard
we try so hard to love
