Adeline - Sarah Jaffe

You can never know enough about what’s underneath

I keep uprooting myself unknowingly

Until one day I’m driving, and I feel my heart implode

And I wonder where it comes from

And where it goes

I guess I have to warn you: I might die for a day

And I’ll think about it so much until it finds itself a grave

Til we’ve argued every politic and burned in third degree

I’ll feel like the ghost in your tragedy

You were right

It’s easy to see

Adeline, Adeline

You found this spot on the wall

And you just stared all day

And it felt so comfortable until I made you look away

And your eyes were crossed and glazed

And in that moment you were lost

Maybe it’s for the best that you’re not here at all

You were right

It’s easy to see

Adeline, Adeline

Adeline, Adeline

I got your warmth on my back and your tears in my blood

And whatever it is, it is never enough

Until I’m no longer human

And you’re no longer sane

And my face is hard with anger, but I want you just the same

You were right

It’s easy to see

Adeline, Adeline

Adeline, Adeline

Mmmm
