lyrics

What to think and what to say?
It was only a flash in the pan.
Drunk night driving past the fire,
don't speak of it again.

I'm sorry I was late to your birthday,
you know I was caught in myself.
If I was fucked up when you visited
I'm sorry, I'll straighten it out.

Well my wise and prudent brother,
soft and distant friend,
are you lonely, and you tired,
are you caving in?

I'm sorry I was late in responding
to the letter you thoughtfully wrote.
I'm glad that you made it to LA,
I know that you'll figure it out.

One to cover, one to keep,
and one to throw away.
In the garden, in your sleep,
and through the mouth of the grave.

I saw you contend with the pattern,
you don't have to say it out loud.
Your mother is lucky to have you,
your father will figure it out.
