The Deal

[Verse] Through the Narrows to Eel Bay Wellesley Island floats away Summer lasts a thousand days I wake up to her grinding teeth Her sweaty hair stuck to her cheek For a while I watch her sleep You will you will always be her [Pre-Chorus] I knew you then Now I don't know a thing [Chorus] We had a deal We had a deal I put my money on a gap-toothed smile The one I dream about And wrestle with denial We had a deal You will you will always be her [Verse] I trace the wrinkles on her palms She's making words up to a song I act annoyed but I'm in awe The only things that stay the same Are all the things you'd wished would change Every time I hear her name You will you will always be her [Pre-Chorus] I knew you then Now I don't know a thing [Chorus] We had a deal We had a deal We had a deal We had a deal I put my money on a gap-toothed smile The one I dream about And wrestle with denial Maybe she knew it all along You will you will always be her She's gone You will you will always be her
