Hannah and Maggie - The Quieting Down lyrics

Gone are the games And the faces we made to get by Hiding the days that We wasted away Underneath a frostbitten sky You are the same as you were When I left We hoped and we pray For a word to call this Saying I'm leaving Was never a threat So let's call it off and forget Gone are the floors buried by What we wore every day A place for your palm in The coat I had on Yes I know It's not supposed to rain You being here Is a lot to handle And I'm never clear When I talk I mumble Things I should scream I'll never confess Let's call it off and forget Gone are the notes That I scribbled down slow When you'd call Hoping you'd find All the things on my mind And have reason to leave after all You look the same as you did When I said I'll do what you want If it is honest No need to come home 'cause everyone left Let's call it off and forget Gone are the sounds Of the quieting down Things never said aren't lies Legs full of lead That just can't go to bed No matter how poorly we tried A thimble of gin for the road To calm you And smooth over scars That still show I loved you A wreath on the window And the bottles we kept Let's call it off and forget Flint under water Won't ever catch So let's call it off and forget
