about

Narrative songs = many words for me it looks like.

lyrics

Well she sat right there across from me with a smile on her face
She had been here many times before probably every day
She asked me questions she knew the answer to and waited patiently
and the same smile she gave to everyone she gave to me

We made small talk as she filed papers I had signed with my own name
and the files she placed them in blended into walls colored the same
and the hum of the AC units sang a peaceful drone
as the worker bees collected information

How long does it take for a heart to break?
Does is happen all at once or piece by piece everyday
Do you give a little bit with every smile that you fake
How long does is take for a heart to break?

I filled out all the applications and I signed the dotted line
I showed my ID and I payed all the fines
She said "thank you and have a nice day" with a smile and tone of voice
That is perfected by use and used by necessity not by choice

I could have sworn this establishment was on the other side of the road
I come here as little as possible, as you may well know
I walked into the building and requested you by name
they said I "have the wrong address, yes I know it looks the same"

How long does it take for a heart to break?
Does is happen all at once or piece by piece everyday
Do you give a little bit with every smile that you fake
How long does is take for a heart to break?

Do you know the drowning mundaneness
of waiting in a grocery line
Listening to the crying kid, wailing about candy behind?

You need to send the papers notarized to this address
It's just a block away but you need to mail them nonetheless
Put the envelope into the US mail with the amount everyone pays
and we'll get back to you in 3 to 5 business days

Maybe if we'd met under different circumstances we could have some fun
maybe if we went to a bar we could buy drinks for everyone
but we're here between the hours of 9 and 5 pm
so we'll never know and I might never see you again

How long does it take for a heart to break?
Does is happen all at once or piece by piece everyday
Do you give a little bit with every smile that you fake
How long does is take for a heart to break?
