The weakerthans sun in an empty room lyrics

Now that the furniture's returning to its goodwill home

With dishes and last week's paper

Rumors and elections,

Crosswords, our unending wars

The black on our fingers smeared the ink on every door pulled shut

Now that the last month's rent is scheming with the damage deposit



Take this moment to decide (sun in an empty room)

If were meant it, if we tried (sun in an empty room)

Or felt around for far too much (sun in an empty room)

For things that accidentally touch (sun in an empty room)



Hands that we nearly hold with pennies for the GST

The shoulders we lean our shoulders into on the subway, mutter an apology

The shins that we kick beneath the table, that reflexive cry

The faces we meet one awkward beat too long and terrified



Know the things we need to say (sun in an empty room)

And said already anyways (sun in an empty room)

By parallelograms of light (sun in an empty room)

On walls that we repainted white (sun in an empty room)



Sun in an empty room

Sun in an empty room

Sun in an empty room

Sun in an empty room

Sun in an empty room

Sun in an empty room

Sun in an empty room

Sun in an empty room



Take eight minutes and divide (sun in an empty room)

By ninety million lonely miles (sun in an empty room)

Watch his shadow cross the floor (sun in an empty room)

We don't live here anymore (sun in an empty room)
