lyrics

When I was young and forgot how to breathe
I ran to my mother in her blue bathrobe
She took me and put me on her knee
Running the shower to open my lungs

Waking up in the dark
My sisters roused me Christmas morning
Speaking in low, hushed voices
Waiting until we could creep down the stairs

And when I'm getting ready to go,
these memories will be my home
I will build a makeshift nest from my love
After all, everything we have
is all already lost

And the thing about getting what you want
is as soon as you get it, it's gone

Hiking down into the valley,
we set up camp by the river
Backpacks heavy with cans of beer
And moments still yet to be lost

And when I'm getting ready to go,
these memories will be my home
I will build a makeshift nest from my love
After all, everything we have
is all already lost

And the thing about getting what you want
is as soon as you get it, it's gone

Oh, the thing about getting what you want
is as soon as you get it, it's gone
