// Lyrics //

We went back to our hometown.
Used to know it blind, just by the sound:
The wind off the lake here,
And the way people talk.
What a shock to hear it again.

Husha, husha, darling.
Let me sing ya a little song
Before it all goes wrong.
Husha, husha, darling.
It's a beautiful life.
Everything's all right.

See it now.
It's a lonesome place.
In the theatres of our youth, vacant space.
You say, "The colours have faded.
All the faces have closed."
I propose,
And you pat my head.

Husha, husha, darling.
Let me sing ya a little song
Before it all goes wrong.
Husha, husha, darling.
It's a beautiful life.
Everything's all right.

Here's the house where I grew up.
Someone's selling it for nothing.
Boarded shut,
But we break in the back door,
Sleep in two different rooms,
While the loons call to satellites.

Husha, husha, darling.
Let me sing ya a little song
Before it all goes wrong.
Husha, husha, darling.
It's a beautiful life.
Everything's all right.

Morning, as you float downstairs
In your Cobain shirt and underwear,
There's sun through a window,
But there's rain in the air.

I wish I could flip some switch,
Make this simulation reel and glitch,
Have it melt all around me,
Try it over again.
What a shame there's no going back.

Husha, husha, darling.
Let me sing ya a little song
Before it all goes wrong.
Husha, husha, darling.
It's a beautiful life.
Everything's all right.
