Say that it's over
If that's what we need to say
In our one bed apartment
The street passes through the shade
Where we gave it up
I watched from the hallway on some afternoon
The ghost of us packing up our living room
You spoke to me softly, said something we knew
The light changed its hue
It's leaving us soon
Another sort of lantern for you
One that only measures to you
Put your head on my shoulder
And dance by the kitchen sink
Where I may not have told you
In the blue of the TV screen
That you gave me love
Is this what you needed to know it was true?
Some kind of reminder of something we knew
The light changed its hue
It's leaving us soon
Another sort of lantern for you
The kind that really measures to you
