Montague — Music and lyrics by Lauren O'Connell I was waiting for a moment alone Sat beside you when you got home I took a breath and you took out your phone So I just did the same I just did the same I tried to be the simple answer I tried to be the ground for you to stand I’m trying to know what’s out of my hands Change the song to whatever you like I’m too tired to change your mind, so Turn it up if you’re feeling inclined To wander to the sound Wander to the sound The distant rustle of a woman undressing Who could’ve kept you but kept you guessing Another sun that didn’t say it was setting When it called you outside Any loving and helpless tune Will be old before it’s halfway through And any light I leave on for you Will be dim next to the moon Who am I next to the moon? ‘Cause I swear I caught you stealing glances at shadows Drifting off on the back of a half note I’ll never know what it was that you had so Why would I try But I can just see it through your memory’s filter Singing back, all in shimmering silver Like there is nothing alive that could fill your Heart with such light If I could only make you talk in your sleep then Maybe I’d know the ocean you’re keeping You never look me in the eye when you’re dreaming (I tried to be the simple answer I tried to be the ground for you to stand I’m dying to hold what’s out of my…) In the arguments I write for us About the things I know we’ll never bring up I always ask if I can only be What you want when I am gone Will I haunt you when I’m gone?
