I Won't Mention It Again

I was seven years old when

We drew maps of a fire escape from our houses in school

It's unlikely we'll use them

But I worked on the God damned thing so hard 'cause I knew

And you sigh like it's only a moment of silence

For a tragedy nobody cares about, amen

I'll crawl into bed

Be asleep or pretend you are

I won't mention it again

When we walk through the garden

And you name every plant in that scientist language you know

I guess I'm finding it hard when

It's the birds and the bees and the coniferous trees and you figure we're just getting old, no

Lord, it's only a moment of silence

For a tragedy nobody cares about, amen

I'll crawl into bed

Be asleep or pretend you are

I won't mention it again

I won't mention it again

I won't mention it again, like it's all the love we ever had

Again like you swore it on the Bible

And it's, "Oh, it's just a drink you shoulda never had"

Or it's, "Oh, it's up to me to stoop to asking", and you'll try, aye

Lord, it's only a moment of silence

For a tragedy I only care about, amen

I'll crawl into bed

Be asleep or pretend you are

I won't mention it again

I won't mention it again
