Proxy War - Andrew Bird

He don’t have to get over her

She don’t to have get over him

With all their words preserved for evermore

You don’t have to get over her

She don’t have to get over you

It’s true these two have never met before

At least not in real life

Where your words cut like a knife

Conjuring blood

Biblical floods

Looks that stop time

You don’t have to remember

We forget what memories are for

Now we store them in the atmosphere

If you don’t want to get too close

You don’t have to get too close

It’s what we’re calling peer to peer

You don’t want to get over

You don’t have to get over

We store them in the atmosphere

If you don’t want to get over her

She don’t have to get over you

It’s true these two have never met before

At least not in real life

Where your words cut like a knife

Conjuring blood

Biblical floods

Looks that stop time

If you don’t want to get over her

You don’t have to get over her

If you don’t want to get too close

You don’t have to get too close

If you want to remember

If you don’t want to get over her

If you don’t want to get over her

If you don’t want to get over her
