Our Life - Nellie McKay

He bet me

He told me he’d never forget me

Regret me is something he never could do

He laughed, then he looked like a kid on vacation

Could hardly contain his elation

His world had aligned with his view

He told me he felt that he’d gave up on our life

It took a minute to realise he wasn’t referring to we

Though blood smiles may glisten like poison

Though kind eyes can moisten with treason with the whole time

Though our life was never to be

Woah, woah, woah, our life

Our life meant something to me

The mountains, and rivers, and springtime, and summer

November brings cold, winter nights by the fire

The rainfall outside of that movie, a phone call

They always glue to me at

A kitten, a pumpkin, a pie

He told me he felt that he’d gave up on our life

It took me a minute to realise

For I was to blinded to see through the blossoms

Who shelter the sun from the pavement

The sadness, which end of the day meant: if you love someone, set them free

Woah, woah, woah, our life

Our life meant something to me

He told me he felt that he’d gave up on our life

It may take a lifetime to realise he wasn’t referring to we

Though living a bachelor existence is lovely

And living means most to the lonely

Though our life was never to be

Woah, woah, woah, our life

Our life meant something to me

Woah, woah, woah, our life

Our life meant something to me

Woah, woah, woah, our life

Our life meant something to me
