We used to spend all our time together on couches
just a couple of introvert grouches
now you're gone, I don't miss you at all
Thermostat's set just the way that I like it
no interruptions to my peace and quiet
used all the hot water, no one to complain
Nothing important happened today
I didn't stop you and you didn't stay
Nothing important happened today
It's just the day that I lost you
Popped all the popcorn and I don't have to share
and I'll watch what I want, because you're not there
Crank up the volume, I'm the only one home
Threw your mug at the wall when you walked out this morning
Coffee was cold, stain was already forming
I used your Rush t-shirt to scrub it away
Drowning, I am drowning, I can't find the air
so I'll choke on my pride and pretend I don't care
If I see you around, I'll say I'm glad we're through
and I'll lie to our friends and say I'm over you
Nothing important happened today
You said you're sick of the games but that's so cliche
Nothing important happened today
It's just a day
Nothing important happened today
I kept my mouth shut as you walked away
Nothing important happened today
It's just the day that I lost you

Darkness Falls

Headlights carve out the path ahead
Watch for the curve, the road twists and turns
We're almost there
Find a perfect clearing where we can finally clear the air
Shapes in shadows scatter as we pass
Radio's on, we're singing along, it's not our favorite song
But we both know the words and that's enough
Smoke hangs heavy like a question in the air
You've got things to tell me, there are things I want to hear
Let's unpack, we'll take it slow
The night is long and deep
Lay our cards out on the table
Some secrets just won't keep
Tell each other tales as tall as trees
The firefly glow, warm, gold and mellow
I'm listening
Comets criss-cross constellations
While we replay old conversations
Treading carefully across uneven ground, just lean on me
Radio's on, the volume's low, still not our favorite song
Pretend we know the words and sing along
Make up the bed, it's time to put uncertainty to sleep
Cocoon me up in your arms tonight

Syzygy

You always have to drive
It's always your way
I might start a fight
You make it easy
I think our arguments are the realest part of us
It's the only time I feel anything when I look at you
I like a sharp sense of humor even when the joke is on me
But I always seem to miss your punchlines
I think we're stuck in syzygy
You're too damn obstinate, and my charm feels so miscast
Let's go another round, we can make this one last
I can see you're tensing up, you sit silent and still
But your buttons are irresistable and I move in for the kill
I like a sharp sense of humor even when the joke is on me
But I always seem to miss your punchlines
I think we're stuck in syzygy
You'd think after all this time, I'd have you figured out
But I still don't really know you at all, not the way it counts
I could say our stars are crossed, but that's not quite it
It's more like we're miles apart, in the same decaying orbit
You always have to drive
