Indigo Girls
Deconstruction
[Verse 1]
We talked up all night and still came to no conclusion
We started a fight that ended in silent confusion
And as we sat stuck you could hear the trash truck
Making its way through the neighborhood
Picking up the thrown out, different from house to house
We get to decide what we think is no good
[Verse 2]
We're sculpted from youth, the chipping away makes me weary
And as for the truth, it seems like we just pick a theory
And it's the one that justifies our daily lives
And backs us with quiver and arrows
To protect openings 'cause when the warring begins
How quickly the wide open narrows
[Chorus]
Into the smallness of
Our deconstruction of love
We thought it was changing but it never was
It's just the same as it ever was
[Verse 3]
A family of foxes came to my yard and dug in
So I looked in a book to see what this could possibly mean
Yeah 'cause there's fate in the breeze, signs in the trees
And possible tragic events
When forces collide with the damage strewn wide
And holes blasted straight through the fence
[Verse 4]
Oh, the sky starts to crash (Into the smallness)
The rain on the roof starts to drumming (Of our)
And laid up like cash (Deconstruction of love)
Your take on my list of shortcomings
And now the show starts to close, I know how this goes
The plot's a predictable showing
And though it seems grand we're just one speck of sand
And back to the hourglass we're going
[Chorus]
Back to the smallness of (Into the smallness of)
Our deconstruction of love (Our deconstruction of love)
We thought it was changing but it never was
We're still in the smallness of (Into the smallness of)
Our deconstruction of love (Our deconstruction)
We thought it was changing but it never was
Our deconstruction of love
Our deconstruction of love
