Song lyrics
Woke up and for the first time the Animals were gone
It's left this house empty now not sure if I belong
Yesterday you asked me to write you a pleasant song
I'll do my best now but you've been gone for so long

The window's open now and the winter settles in
We'll call it Christmas when the adverts begin
I love your depression and I love your double chin
I love most everything you bring to this offering

Oh, I know that I've left you
In places of Despair
Oh, I know that I've loved you
So please thrown down your hair

At night I dream without you
And hope I don't wake up
'cause waking up without you
Is like drinking from an empty cup

Woke up and for the first time the animals were gone
Our clocks are ticking now so before our time is gone
We can get a house and some boxers and all along
We can make babies and accidental songs

I know I've been a liar and I know I've been a fool
I hope we didn't break it, but I'm glad we broke the rules
My cave is deep now yet your light is shining through
I cover my eyes still all I see is you

Oh, I know that I've left you
In places of Despair
Oh, I know that I've loved you
So please thrown down your hair

At night I dream without you
And hope I don't wake up
'cause waking up without you
Is like drinking from an empty cup

this is such a great song. it is so real--"i love your depression and i love your double chin..." it shows that love can show beauty in things that most people wouldnt find beautiful.

and then the instrumental part at the end is phenomenal
