The absolute, 100% representation of me and Jeff's recent relationship in a song. This hits home so much that it's eerie.
The Postal Service, Nothing Better
Male voice:
will someone please call a surgeon who can
crack my ribs and repair this broken heart that
you're deserting for better company?
I can't accept that it's over, I will block the door
like a goalie tending the net in the third quarter
of a tied-game rivalry
so just say how to make it right
and I swear I'll do my best to comply
tell me am I right to think that there could be
nothing better
than making you my bride and slowly growing
old together
female voice:
I feel I must interject here. you're getting carried
away feeling sorry for yourself with these
revisions and gaps in history.
so let me help you remember. I've made charts
and graphs that should finally make it clear.
I've prepared a lecture on why I have to leave.
so please back away and let me go
Male voice:
I can't my darling I love you so...
tell me am I right to think that there could be nothing better
than making you my bride and slowly growing old together
female voice:
don't you feed me lines about some idealistic future
your heart won't heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures
Male voice:
I admit that I have made mistakes and I swear
I'll never wrong you again.
Female voice:
You've got a lure I can't deny, but you've had
your chance so say goodbye.
Say goodbye.
