Gidget Etc.

Gidget’s hiding under the bed again
She doesn’t like it when we fight
She doesn’t understand why mom’s upset
And dad is always leaving for a few weeks at a time
She doesn’t get this is the start of something great
She has no concept of sacrifice
Lying on the rug, in a little patch of sun
Licking at your fingers
Sleeping through the worst of times
And while she sleeps we have the talk
Circling around the fact that we’re both wondering if we’re…
Better off calling this our natural end
Allow ourselves the space and time to think through
Our lives, our plans
Don’t hold back just say the safe word and I will untie you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, I know I’m doing that thing again
And of course I know you’re right
I’m spreading myself thin, saying yes to everything
Just to panic and then blow up on you one random night
Apologize, make up, grow manic, and repeat
This is what fucking up a fairy tale looks like
I’m sensitive and soft
You, stoic shutting off
But I know just what you’re thinking
I know just what you’re thinking
You’re thinking that we’re…
Better off calling this our natural end
Allow ourselves the space and time to think through
Our lives, our plans
Don’t hold back just say the safe word and I will untie you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Gidget might be the main witness in
The biggest mistake of our lives
Or maybe this is love
The hammer to the thumb of building something beautiful
Scraping up towards the sky
