lyrics

Have you written this down?
Rehearsed it in your head?
Those words you're saying don't make sense,
Or maybe I won't let them,

When you're in the shower,
Several hours later,
You'll think that's the one thing I should've said,

I think the French have a word for that,
But it escapes me now,

We should put it to bed,
So we can get some rest,
We each said things we didn't mean,
And some things that we did,

I can feel us on the cusp,
Of domestic relations detente,
A smile thaws your cold set jaw,
Guilt spasms in my once-sure gut,

My staircase wit,
Has got you going,
I know it drives you mad,

I must admit,
There's something real in,
Each little fight we have,

We reach a shared ground eventually,
A sudden moment of clarity,
Perhaps it's out of necessity,
Do you think the French have a word for that?

My staircase wit,
Has got you going,
I know it drives you mad,
