Laments Hop Along

It's a green-striped sheet lifted from me
I am free of two very heavy bodies
Once, we three had slept soundly
I couldn't keep them around
Fold the blankets down, and
Found new sleeping ground

Bed-springs squeaking, tires squealing away
From one another; We all used to be lovers here
Bodies laying say they'll stay, just like boxes
Stacked the same way, labeled and separated, hey

Go ahead, take the couch
I know I don't wanna sit here next to nobody
Go ahead, take the fridge
I know I don't want you going hungry, yeah
Go ahead, take the cat
I know you're only gonna be coming back, so
Go ahead, take it all
I know you've been wanting to
Settle down
Has it always been
Settling down?

One on the left says to the one on the right
"I could make a very good wife for you"
One on the right says to the one on the left
"Let's take this one step at a time"
One on the right says to the one on the left
"You know I need you all the time"
One on the right says to the one on the left
"I think I changed my mind"
My insides sing-
