Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You and I will be together
When we shed our memory
I won't wear an orange sweater
When I get it off of me
When it's as it someday is, it
Always will have been the case
When your ever-searching finger
Finds the button marked "erase"
[PreChorus]
Finger find the button marked "erase"
Like a deep-sea diver falling into a mermaid's embrace
[Chorus]
Put one box on the sidewalk
Then you return with the next and the first one's gone
Everyone gets on the bus out of town
And the lights start going out one by one
Button marked "erase"
When darlings must be murdered
When your heartbreak overwhelms your heart
[Verse 2]
Think of this as solving problems
That should never have occurred
Please don't call it strangulation
That is such an ugly word
[PreChorus]
Press "erase", ignore the shrill alarms
See the way the deep-sea diver falls into the mermaid's arms
[Chorus]
Put one box on the sidewalk
Then you return with the next and the first one's gone
Everyone gets on the bus out of town
And the lights start going out one by one
Button marked "erase"
When darlings must be murdered
When your heartbreak overrides the very
Thing you cannot face
The skeletons that won't stay down
The mercy kill that can't be drowned
[Verse 3]
Put, box, sidewalk
Then, return, next, first one gone
Everyone, on, bus, out
Lights, out, one by one
[PreChorus]
Finger find the button marked "erase"
Like a deep sea diver falling into a mermaid's embrace
[Chorus]
Put one box on the sidewalk
Then you return with the next and the first one's gone
Everyone gets on the bus out of town
And the lights start going out one by one
