Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's curtains for me and you
I'll drink one last Grüner Veltliner
And turn off the light

[Verse 2]
Our affair was just begging for poetry
But now I go back to repair the broken glass
And you go back to him
Perhaps we'll meet in a channel
Perhaps many years from now in a zip code where
No one would think we would be
And you have two kids
And you and your man raise the dog we found
In the suburbs of Prague

[Chorus]
Who could ever explain
I swore I'd never change

[Verse 3]
And yet when we first met
I flipped back like a record
You never gave me what you had
Just something better
But goodness came of it
I know you understand

[Verse 4]
And you gave me new bones
Some people lose others win
I'm just lucky I suppose

[Verse 5]
But my past just came roaring back
Unplanned but I'm no coward
And he-- a rare man
That I defeated-- then defended
And you are weeping like a river
Now you must go back to him

[Chorus]
Who could ever explain
I swore I'd never change
