Can love still cover this mess we've made?
Tell me lover can love still cover this mess we've made?
Well, I got hired and you had a child
And we, now we're digging in the weeds
The kids are killing each other and you took another lover
And me, I'm still digging in the weeds
So this is how it feels
The snakes are biting at our heels
I thought you were to blame
You thought exactly the same about me
I'm still digging in the weeds

Tell me lover can love still cover this mess we've made?
Then the kids moved away and it was just you and me
And we, we were digging in the weeds
So I got a job and you became a slob
And me, I'm still digging
Oh no, this is how it goes we keep pretending we don't know
I thought you were to blame
You thought exactly the same about me
I'm still digging in the weeds
But I remember when
Time was slow and space was thin
And naked as the day we were born
We kept each other's bodies warm
Everything was so brand new
And you named me and i named you
But we can never go back again
To "I remember when"
