The Only Thing I Know

[Intro]

[Verse 1: John Darnielle]

When you came back from Trenton

All the sparkle was gone

You stood in the shadow

And the curtains were drawn

[Chorus 1]

And I know you're lying

And you know you're lying too

That is just about

The only thing I know about you

[Verse 2]

When you pocketed your eyeshadow

And you picked up the phone

Stepped on the balcony

And drank in the drone

[Chorus 2]

And I know you're leaving

You know you're leaving too

That is just about

The only thing I know about you

[Verse 3]

When you stopped on the sidewalk

And you looked up above you

The warm, wet air came down the shelter

How much do I love you

[Chorus 3]

Well, you know you're dying

And I know you're dying too

That is just about

The only thing I know about you

[Outro]
