The Animals Were Gone

Woke up and for the first time the animals were gone It's left this house empty now, not sure if I belong Yesterday you asked me to write you a pleasant song I'll do my best now, but you've been gone for so long The window's open now, and the winter settles in We'll call it Christmas when the adverts begin I love your depression, and I love your double chin I love most everything you bring to this offering Oh, I know that I left you in places of despair Oh, I know that I love you, so please, throw down your hair Night, I trip without you, and hope I don't wake up 'Cause waking up without you, is like drinking from an empty cup Woke up and for the first time the animals were gone Our clocks are ticking, now, so before our time is gone We could get a house and some boxes on the lawn We could make babies and accidental songs I know I've been a liar, and I know I've been a fool I hope we didn't break yet, but I'm glad we broke the rules My cave is deep now, yet your light is shining through I cover my eyes, still all I see is you Oh, I know that I left you in places of despair Oh, I know that I love you, so please, throw down your hair At night, I trip without you, and hope that I don't wake up 'Cause waking up without you is like drinking from an empty cup
