lyrics

Charles
HELLO IT'S ME MY NAME IS CHARLES YOU MIGHT REMEMBER ME AS
SOMEONE YOU ONCE KNEW
MY RATHER TEDIOUS PERFORMANCE AS YOUR FORMER HUSBAND, THAT WAS MY DEBUT
A LITTLE UNDERPLAYED, A LITTLE DULL, SAID ALL THE PAPERS
A VIEW CONSISTENTLY UPHELD BY ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS
SO NOW I'M HERE TO INTRODUCE MYSELF AGAIN MY NAME IS CHARLES
AND WHO ARE YOU?

Hope
HELLO I'M HOPE, I'M TAKING VALIUM SO I CAN DATE MY FORMER
SPOUSE TONIGHT
'CAUSE IN MY FORMER LIFE AS FORMER WIFE I USED TO BE A TEENY
BIT UPTIGHT
A LITTLE SPOILED MAYBE JUST A WEE BIT CONDESCENDING
I HAD A WAY OF SAYING THINGS I WASN'T QUITE INTENDING
A FLAWED PERFORMANCE TO BE SURE THE LEADING LADY NEVER REALLY
GOT IT RIGHT

Charles
WHAT ABOUT MARRYING ONCE WHEN WE'RE YOUNG JUST TO FIGURE IT OUT JUST TO GET INTO PRACTICE
MAKE OUR MISTAKES, AND THEN COME BACK AGAIN WITH OUR DUCKS IN A ROW -- WE'D BE MUCH BETTER AT THIS
GET THE DIVORCE, GET IT OUT OF THE WAY, MAKE A MESS, BREAK IT
OFF, MAKE IT BITTER AND SPITEFUL
THEN CLEAN THE SLATE, TRY AGAIN, YOU AND ME, MAKE IT GOOD,
MAKE A LIFE, GET IT DOWN, GET IT RIGHT

Hope
SO BEGINNING
WITH THIS
MOMENT
IF WE HAVEN’T
REALLY BLOWN IT
WE DON’T HAVE
TO BE SO LONELY
ANY LONGER
WE DON’T HAVE
TO LET THE PAST
DEFINE US
WE COULD LEAVE
IT ALL BEHIND
US
AND MAYBE WHAT
WE’VE LEARNED
{edit} can MAKE US
STRONGER

Charles
WHAT ABOUT
MARRYING ONCE
WHEN WE’RE YOUNG
{edit}
MAKE OUR
MISTAKES, AND
THEN COME BACK
AGAIN {edit}
OUR DUCKS IN A ROW,
WE’D BE MUCH
BETTER AT THIS
GET THE DIVORCE,
GET IT OUT OF
THE WAY {edit}
{edit} thenCLEAN THE
SLATE, TRY
AGAIN, {edit}
MAKE A
LIFE, GET IT
DOWN, GET IT
RIGHT

Hope
I KNOW IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME THAT WE HAD ALL THAT TIME APART
Charles
I NEVER WANTED TO SPEAK TO YOU EVER AGAIN WHEN YOU BROKE MY HEART
Hope
TIME HAS A STRANGE WAY OF WIPING THINGS OUT
Charles
REMINDS US OF THINGS WE’D FORGOTTEN ABOUT
Hope
AND RIGHT NOW IN THIS MOMENT
THIS SLIGHTLY DRUNKEN MOMENT
I DON'T WANT WHAT WE HAD
I THINK YOU CAN SEE THAT
I JUST WANT A FRIEND
SOMEONE I CAN DEPEND ON
AND MAYBE SOME SEMBLANCE OF LOVE
Charles
I THINK THAT I CAN MAKE SOME SEMBLANCE OF LOVE
Hope
SOME THINGS ARE STILL BROKEN
SOME THINGS ARE BETTER LEFT UNSPOKEN
Hope/Charles
RARELY IF EVER
TILL RECENTLY NEVER
WOULD TWO PEOPLE TETHER
THEIR FUTURES TOGETHER
FOR SOMETHING AS FRAGILE AS LOVE
