lyrics

I know better than to call you now, but if I called you, this is what I would say: / you deserve more than whatever you’re receiving from your partner, place of work, or the State / I know it’s too late to wish you were here, but you could pour a splash of wine and think of when our stars aligned / it’s too late to wish you were here, but won’t you think about the time when we could relish being near each other? // I saw that picture of you dressed in white, and I’d like to say it didn’t bug me at all / but you’d know better, so I’m only going to tell you that I took your first name last fall // it’s too late to wish you were here, but you could pour a splash of wine and think of when our stars aligned / it’s too late to wish you were here, but won’t you think about the time when we could relish being near each other? // pour out some wine for better times / we ought to pour ourselves some wine for better times / let’s pour ourselves some wine, because a better time won’t come for a while // it’s been nice not catching up with you; we should not do it again / and in case I don’t get another chance to say it: the pleasure’s been all mine, my ex friend // it’s too late to wish you were here, but you could pour a splash of wine and think of when our stars aligned / it’s too late to wish you were here / but won’t you think about the time when we could relish being near each other? / pour out some wine for when we relished being near each other/ pour out some wine for when we relished being near each other / pour ourselves some wine, because a better time won’t come for a while.
