We used to sit shoulder to shoulder I used to put my feet up on the velvet We used to sing all of the verses I used to write what you said in my notebook There's a joke about The Goldfinch I never finished, and Matty's climbing in the back There's a note about the wrong things and who gets shelter The congregation's starting to crack When you said I was When you said I was We used to play Suf before sunrise I used to know which of the keys stuck We used to stand easy in circles I used to think I could convince you There's a point about privilege But you won't take it, and Jessi says I'll know when to leave Disappointed in the right things, the front door's making A growl that sounds like grief When you said I was When you said I was And we're throwing the cornerstones into the river We're building up the banks And we're feeding the shoring fires with our old bulletins We're editing the blanks When you said I was When you said I was When you said I was brave you meant wrong But I know right, that ain't right When you said I was brave you meant wrong But I know right, that ain't right I know right, and that ain't right And we're throwing the cornerstones into the river We're building up the banks And we're feeding the shoring fires with our old bulletins We're editing the blanks When you said I was I know right, that ain't right When you said I was I know right, that ain't right When you said I was You know right, so goddamn do right When you said I was I know right
