lyrics

Museum

You got a new girl and she's got you sweet
I've got some things make your picture complete ‘cause
We shared a history I'd gladly impart so that she'd meet your hero
She'd know him

But she gets the learning of lessons I taught
And she gets the walking through gates that I wrought
And I've got the key to the museum of thought
That no one but us ever entered
That no one but us ever entered

She's got hearts in her eyes and they're making her blind
But I've got the tricks to read your mind
I know I could teach her and that might be kind
But I'll back off, she can find her own way

Because she gets the learning of lessons i taught
And she gets the walking through gates that I wrought
And I've got the key to the museum of thought
That no one but us ever entered
That no one but us ever entered

And it’s not to say it will work out the same
And it’s not to say you can’t make a new name
So I will stay quiet, she'll feel her own pain
But I'll sing her my songs if you do it again

But she might get the learning of lessons i taught
And she might get the walking through gates that i wrought
So I'll keep the key to the museum of thought
That no one but us ever entered
That no one but us ever entered

So baby talk and bear your soul
And your body, and the whole
Reason you go out there every day
Then slip in to slipping out of touch
And give in to not giving much
And move on to someone new
And forget she ever walked within you

And I will just quietly curate this museum of thought
That no one but us ever entered
I will just quietly curate this museum of thought
That no one but us ever entered
