She wastes time ironing her clothes
You say “it’s time to leave,” she says “shut up I know
Just don’t wait for me I’ll be there before you know it
I’m just slow these days”
Don’t wait, don’t remember, I’m still here if you get the chance to come back
She’s in the living room, she says it’s cold inside
You say come on you’ve got no reason you have to hide
She says I’m sorry boys it’s just the way I am
I’m just cold these days
She says you’re boring me with all your pretty lies
But she has a lot of you she keeps behind her eyes
She says if you’ll bear with me I’ll bear to be alive
I’m just slow these days
Don’t wait…
You see her sleeping in the darkness through the door
She has a calendar but keeps it on the floor
She says I’m careful but sometimes I get confused
I’m just cold these days
She came home said she felt a presence in the house
Put the boxes down, swore she’d turned the porch light out
It was an early winter night, it’s colder than in town
I’m so slow these days
Don’t wait…
