We married strangers

The blood that trickles towards my elbow
Looks like a map of anaheim
What used to be the bathroom mirror
Is speckled red with highway five
You look for eyes to reassure you
I’m staring holes into the ground
You’ve fifty faces there to choose from
But none of us can make a sound

So let’s begin, oh, let’s begin again
To fall in love, to fall in love again
Let’s begin, oh, let’s begin again

We married young, we married strangers
In front of family and our friends
No warning signs about the changes
No one told us we’d forget
The love I see there on our faces
In all those photos in the hall
That smile I couldn’t seem to straighten
A hope that swore we’d never fall

So let’s begin, oh, let’s begin again
To fall in love, to fall in love again
Let’s begin, oh, let’s begin again

So help me out, I’m quickly losing myself
Help me out, I think I’m losing you
