The graveyard near the house song lyrics

The other day when we were walking
by the graveyard near the house
you asked me if I thought would ever die
And if life and love both fade so predictably
we've made ourselves a kind of predictable lie

So I pictured us like corpses
lying side by side in pieces
in some dark and lonely plot under a bough
We looked so silly there all decomposed
half turned to dust in tattered clothes
though we probably look just as silly now

Bye, bye, bye, all this dog-eared innocence
I can't pretend that I can tell you
what is going to happen next or how to be
But you have no idea about me, do you?

It left me to wonder
if people ever know each other
or just stumble around like strangers in the dark
Because sometimes you seem so strange to me
I must seem strange to you
We're like two actors playing two parts

Did you memorize your lines? 'Cause I did
Here's the part where I get so mad
I tell you that I can't forget the past
You get so quiet now and you seem somehow
like a lost and lonely child
and you just hope that the moment won't last

Bye, bye, bye all this dogged innocence
I can't pretend that I can tell you
what is going to happen next or how to be
But you have no idea about me
you have no idea about me, do you?

Still, there's always a way around
There's something tying our feet to the ground
A moment passed, we hear how it sounds
And it seems a little less profound
like we're all going the same way down
Yeah, we're all going the same way down
I'm just trying to write it all down

'Cause I write songs and you write letters
We are tied like two in tethers
and we talk and read and laugh and sleep
at night in bed together

And you wake in tears sometimes
I can see the thoughts flash across your eyes
They say, “Darling will you be kind?
Will you be a good man and stay behind if I get old?”

And then the letters all flash through my head
with the words that I was told
about the fading flesh of life and love
The failures of the bold
I can list each crippling fear
like I'm reading from a will

And I'll defy every one and love you still
I will carry you with me up every hill
And if you die before I die
I'll carve your name out of the sky
I'll fall asleep with your memory
and dream of where you lie

It may be better to move on
and to let life just carry on
and I may be wrong, still I'll try
'Cause it's better to love
whether you win or lose or die
It's better to love
and I will love you until I die
