We waited around for a little while but the gypsies never came
So we plotted out the patterned stars, and designated numbers to our names
Searching around for instructions, any vague idea of what to do
You spent that idle time blaming me, I was busy blaming you
I spent some nights with an artist girl, she wasn't proud enough to beg
She had some scarring on her knuckles, and she asked me if I could stay
Grasping out for validation, you told everyone I changed
I took a hit and laughed you off me, though I knew I'd have done the same
But I'll be the curtains that all you mirrors hide behind
And I'll be the sleeping bag by the bed that you can't crawl inside
Despite your tickling raspberries, you still look lonely to me
So I'll be the curtains your mirrors hide behind
You spent so many high school nights terrified of ending up alone
But you found a new face with tan skin to shake you to your bones
And though I promise that I'm through with you, babe, for you I will atone
So the dark can finally digest the light peeking through the door
Waking up on a Colorado couch from a long belated dream
In it you grabbed me by the elbow and apologized to me
And it got me to thinking that maybe that was all I need
But what's the sense in sweating fevers waiting on something I'll never see
So I'll be the curtains that all your mirrors hide behind
And I'll be the wasps in the lemon grove you blame for the apples you can't find
Out in your Alabama spring, you can do anything you goddamn please
I'll still be the curtains all your mirrors hid behind.
