I gave her a fake smile, she threw me a real frown
Styrofoam heart buried in the ground
I ask her how she felt, she told me she didn’t know
When the water rises high where will she be, who will I hold

Everything is crumbling, decaying, falling apart
We let this happen in the first place (we were fragile from the start)
Aliens in our own skin, stranger in our neighborhood
Hope the last two people on earth will

Love each other like no one could
Love each other like no one could

I wrote her a letter on laminated paper
A dripping mess of marker all around
And when she opened the message, and just could not read it
She stormed outside and threw it on the ground

Everything is crumbling, decaying, falling apart
We let this happen in the first place (we were fragile from the start)
Aliens in our own skin, strangers in our neighborhood
Hope the last two people on earth will

Love each other like no one could
Love each other like no one could
She dug up my cold white heart and dropped it in my hands
She looked away from me and said she couldn’t understand
How could I hide this for so long, I kept it here for years
I let it rot beneath our feet, suppressing all my tears
She put out her cigarette, and reached for another
Styrofoam heart in my hand, melting in the sun
