"Our Love Is Senile" lyrics - OF MONTREAL

So now she's turning a corner
Wants to leave me again
Though it's sad I really should warn her
You can only break up so many times
Before losing us to absurdity
Without becoming farcical
She said, "How can we continue?
If you're telling the truth and I still don't believe you?"

So now she's getting tired
Wondering if it's a peak or a precipice
And just how to labor forward
When her man is a mess, and never there

Though it's sad being apart
It's much worse together in silence
Because more than just civility, we need laughter, happiness, madness, anything

[Pre-Chorus:]
Our love is senile
Like a blind child bumping into walls
Say it's not guilt keeping us together
How can we support each other's wills?

[Chorus:]
Our love is senile
Like we don't recognize each other
Somehow we relapse to being strangers
The scuttling of tiles in our sacred realm

Now it's time to play the socialists
And protect our little chick from our problems
And confusion, this evasiveness is no solution
