Both hands, now use both hands
Oh, no don't close your eyes
And I can't let it go and I can't get through
And I am getting nowhere with you and I can't let it go
In each other's shadows we grew less and less tall
And your bones have been my bed frame
And eventually our theories couldn't explain it all
And both hands, now use both hands
I've been waiting for sleep to offer up the deep with both hands
And I am getting nowhere with you
I am writing graffiti on your body
She's listening through the air shaft
How hard we tried, how hard we tried
I am watching your chest rise and fall
And eventually the landlord will come and paint over it all
And I can't get through
And your flesh has been my pillow
How hard we tried
Ahh, both hands

And I am walking out in the rain
And I'm recording our history now on the bedroom wall
And I am listening to the low moan of the dial tone again
The old woman behind the pink curtains
Like the tides of my life and the rest of it all
And I am listening to the low moan of the dial tone again
I am writing graffiti on your body
And the closed door on the first floor
To see how long our swan song can last
I am drawing the story of how hard we tried

I am drawing the story of how hard we tried
