Dan Mangan - Basket lyrics

We are young we have years ahead maybe
We might fall in love fall apart
Fall apart before it ends
Well we should try to start

So I'll go but I'm telling
You I don't wanna go
Could be stuck here and happy

So there's a puzzle I work on endlessly
And I've got the sides and all the corners
But there's a space yeah there's a space
Lost some pieces I can't replace

So I'll be but I'm telling
You I don't wanna be
Just a wasted puzzle piece

We are old and our son took the dog away
And fair enough
Guess we're tired all the time all the time
And you know dogs they
Need ample time outside

So I'll stay but I'm telling you I don't
I don't wanna stay
So I'll brace myself against the wall and
Hope to God that I don't fall
My bones are worn, my hip won't hold
I used to be so young, how did I get so old?
Won't you take my cane and hold my hand
You're holding onto all I have
Just a basket full of memories
And I am losing more each day it seems
But, if I can make it to the street
I'll steal a car or a bike
Whatever there is to steal
And it might get cold I just don't care
I'm going 'til I'm getting there
I'll ride my steed all through this town
'Til I have looked and I have found
Your peaceful memory won't you return to me?
Won't you return to me?
