Returns and Exchanges Lyrics

Cover art for Returns and Exchanges lyrics by Cursive

"This is like pulling teeth." Said the man with the gap-toothed smile; Upon decline... So the silence seeped into an impatient line of returns and exchanges. And the silence brewed like a storm; As they brooded over their misfortunes...

Some things you can't take We're all the same... We share a common weakness; We're all afraid of a pointless existence.

Still the silence grows a crescendo, of deafening stillness. Silence you just can't speak; Much less repeat To your lover, Or your mirror.

Cause such simple words Could leave us crushed As we deny that life is ___

It can't be exchanged.

We're all the same... We're loveless liars tonight. We're all ashamed Of our life ___ We've been declined. We shouldn't have tried; To fake such existence
