On Ex-Husbands and Wives Lyrics by Quiet Company

Your Husband, the Ghost

2017

[Verse 1]
This is weird, don't you think?
How I used to have a wife
Now I've only got a roommate?
Weird, don't you think?
How we used to hang so tightly
Now we just can't come together on anything?
How I never thought I'd run from you
But I've been living in the other room?
[Verse 2]
This is weird, don't you think?
How you used to have a husband
Now there's just a fucking ghost in the halls?
And he's trapped inside the house, yeah
He's tethered to the memories of love between these walls
And I think he's gonna linger
At least until the summer or the fall
And I think that he'll probably never really be free again
Yeah, I'll probably never really be free again
[Verse 3]
Now there's an angel or a demon in my room
And I confess that I can't tell the difference
She looks a lot like you
Sounds a little bit like you too
And she whispers, "It's gonna be okay"
I don't know if that's the truth
Or just some cruel, strangely-elaborate prank
But either way, I don't believe her
'Cause hope turns to poison in my ears
As I'm sitting here, alone at the end of my rope
And it's deeply frustrating, yeah
Talk is cheap, no, maybe I should call up an ex
And see if she wants to reconnect
No, there's probably plenty of other eligible bachelorettes
Right around here that I can ruin relationships with tonight
[Bridge]
But time is on our side
Time is on our side
Time is on our side, I guess
[Outro]
If you can keep it together, keep it together, you're fine
If you can keep it together, just keep it together, you're fine
Because one way or another, for better or worse
This too is gonna pass
This too is gonna pass
This too is gonna pass
And if you can keep it together, keep it together, you're fine
If you can keep it together, just keep it together, you're fine
Because one way or another, for better or worse
This too is gonna pass
This too is gonna pass
This too is gonna pass
It's gonna pass
It's gonna pass
It's gonna pass, I guess
