Table Lyrics by Jack Cookson (Folk)

Five Times (EP)

2012

I thought I'd make a change today
And it'll be a big one
I'm gong to cut all contact with you
And all your foolish pretences
Will bother me no more

If I could describe you and me
In a short, yet profound, simile
I'd say talking to you could be just as pointless
As trying to get some warmth from a dying fire
We can't just burn all inside to get the fuel we need
But, Hell, I've got an idea:

We could burn this table
A table laid with pain;
Dishonesty, distrust, and shame
And when it's all reduced to a cinder
Maybe we'll both know if we should linger
Like ghosts or just let it all go!
We probably should just let it go

I'd awake from the black and remember it all
I'd remember your face and how our love has grown so small
I'd awake at 7 a.m. each morning to the same old song
Darling I'd do anything to have us smiling again
I'm no Bear Grylls but I know it's gonna take more
Than just two sticks to get that spark

We could burn this table
A table laid with pain;
Dishonesty, distrust, and shame
When it's all reduced to a cinder
Maybe we'll both know if we should linger
Like ghost or just let it all go!
We need to burn this table
Because all we do is blame'
We run around in circles
Our love is like a game
Our love is like a game

I finally made that change today
God, it was a hard one
But I cut all contact with you
But in case you're wondering
What the fuck am I singing about
-trying to make things better between you and me-
For the table is you and me
It's you and me
It's you and me
