lyrics

She said "Don't you leave me now
There's more to love than what they'd have you know
And it's not something simplistically filed in the supermarket aisle
It's crowded and ugly sometimes"

Where's that jar marked fire?
I think I left it in the attic some time ago
When we were working constantly till four am
My mind was taking me to places that we've never been

Oh, but these jars
That I hold
I am keeping them all
I am keeping them all, I am
These jars that I hold
I'm keeping them all
Even the comfortable ones
Even the comfortable ones
So don't you leave me now

She said, "I'm the pufferfish
And I don't intend to age too gracefully
Do you remember how they used to say that we don't seem to go together?
You'd say, who cares anyway"

Oh, romance is dead
Well we never really had that anyway
We don't need flowers or anniversaries to show the love we have
It's bigger than that
Oh, but these jars
That I hold
I am keeping them all
I am keeping them all, I am
These jars that I hold
I'm keeping them all
Even the comfortable ones
Even the comfortable ones
So don't you leave me now

Because
Who's gonna love the way we love and
Who's gonna live the way we live?

These jars that I hold, I'm keeping them all
The fire, the light, the bored, the complacent, the ignored, I'm keeping them all
These jars that I hold, I'm keeping them all
The comfortable, the warm, the wild passionate storms, I'm keeping them all
These jars that I hold, I'm keeping them all
The uninspired holes, the adored, the safest arms I'll ever know

These jars that I hold
I'm keeping them all
Even the comfortable ones
Even the comfortable ones
So don't you leave me now
