Dusk

Dusk hits the peninsula
Like the fists of a girl who's had enough
The memories were rough when I started to date her
Thirty years later and ten miles north
Oh haters they will hate and make their jokes about the Graduate
Well I don't really give a shit if people stare at us when we go out

(just a few years between)
It's amazing the things people do so they won't be alone
We're not in our teens
It's amazing the love we could make were we equally grown
Just keep yourself clean
Don't turn the page 'cause we're not the same age

In the Albertson's parking lot where we met
It's gone a lot further than I'd planned when we started
Crosby went to jail and Parsons went to Harvard
When you're older I guess you've got more to forget
Get ready get set 'cause the sun is setting
On preschool picnics and drive-through weddings
I will feed you applesauce when the enamel starts to go

(just a few years between)
It's amazing the things people do so they won't be alone
We're not in our teens
It's amazing the love we could make were we equally grown
Just keep yourself clean
A tanker of problems a bucket of bones
Did you bring my pills, no I left them at home
I can't be the light in the dusk of your life
I can't be the light in the dusk of your life

You do the dishes and I'll go to the store
And then we won't have to be alone anymore
The cabbie's getting restless as we stare at one another
You can have your own kids if you want to be a mother
