Terms Of Estrangement Lyrics by Maya Hawke
Exterior, Manhattan sidewalk
Evening, Jack and Maryanne talk
Now they call this place the Gold Coast
You’re getting miles out of those old clothes
It was harder to stay friends than we thought
How’ve you been, what’s going on?
I’m getting married in the fall
I know, I meant to call
Remember me?
Flipping a coin and picking option three
Making my point, looking for a way to agree
All snuggled up in a puffer coat
Snow and dirty rain, passing notes
Drunk on a plane, remember me? Flushed and thin
Holding in everything I wanted to say
Remember me that way
Blocking your way through my door
Typing your name, remember everything you let go of?
You don’t get to come back and know what
It would’ve been like if you were still in my life
Now I learned how to love without you
Without you
I walked the curbside like a gangplank
Still a little gas left in that old tank
You’re different now than I remember
Salt and pepper, *** and vinegar
Think this little light of mine has gone out
With everything that’s going on now
It’s a blind-on-blonde race to the bottom
I say smoke ’em if you got ’em
I remember you walking the dog around the gas station
Packing the car to the gills
Tracing want ads in the back pages
“I have a unique set of skills”
Picking your battles, choosing your fighter
Finding the humor and losing your lighter
Losing your cool when we popped a tire
A table for two, I felt like an insider
I don’t need a reminder
I kept the bits you liked and ditched the rest
I was so impressed
With the way that you could always bend the room
Talking so quiet, everyone listened to you
Do you know how much that hurt to lose?
Every time you said you loved me, it got a little less true
I don’t need a reminder
I remember you
That’s as true as half the story ever is
Some day’s never coming, nothing’s ever gonna give
It was lousy while it lasted but a pleasure to miss
You can’t catch with a fist, can you, cricket?
You can’t catch with a fist, can you?
Remember me?
Flipping a coin and picking option three
Making my point, looking for a way to agree
All snuggled up in a puffer coat
Snow and dirty rain, passing notes
Drunk on a plane, remember me? Flushed and thin
Holding in everything I wanted to say
Remember me that way
Blocking your way through my door
Typing your name, remember everything you let go of?
You don’t get to come back and know what
It would’ve been like if you were still in my life
Now I learned how to love without you
Without you
