Oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Remember when

I was your concubine?

You were the canary

In my coal mine

We made a vow

To honor a contract

There'd be no hard feelings, no eye contact

Oh, oh, oh, oh

They hid me away

Deep in the family tomb

I was the ingenue

In the engine room

I crave the taste

Of your sweet disregard

A moment on the lips

For a lifetime in the bar

I'd love to know how much love we need

To throw into this black hole

So we'd be truly happy

Or at least less inconsolable

I know I don't deserve love

And I know it's fanciful

But when did we become so non-negotiable?

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Make sure to sing

When you decide to go

I can't say I'll be high

I can't say I'll be low

You'll never write

And you will barely call

I'll have to remind myself

What seldom's wonderful

I'd love to know how much love we need

To throw into this black hole

So we'd be truly happy

Or at least less inconsolable

I know I don't deserve love

And I know it's fanciful

But when did we become so non-negotiable?

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I'd love to know how much love we need

To throw into this black hole

So we'd be truly happy

Or at least less inconsolable

I know I don't deserve love

And I know it's fanciful

But when did it become so non-negotiable?
