lyrics

Scandal: you and me in a corner booth, treating closing time like a suggestion
Vertigo and butterflies, just because you put your hand in mine

Two cars, side by side in the parking lot, carnations in the back seat while we sing
Harmonies to songs we thought might turn into our Courteney Cox connections
Emily says the heart wants what it wants
Mine wants to return to all the places
We were bons vivants
Crooked: paths we took to find each other
Heartbreak and divorce and graduations
Leave the office early, cross the state line on the way home after dark

Shelter: all the drama melts away
I say the code, you answer with the password
Pictures over telephones remind us of the bookstores that we haunt

Emily says the heart wants what it wants
Mine wants to return to all the places, trace my fingers down your back in all the spaces
We were bons vivants

about

ER

Less country than Robbie Fulks, less rock-and-roll than Steve Poltz, less uninhibited than Rhett Miller, less political than Billy Bragg, less fastidious than Josh Ritter... something for every clever song lover!
