Lyrics Sleater-Kinney

Sleater-Kinney

The Size of Our Love

Our love is the size of

These tumors inside us

Our love is the size of

This hospital room

You're my hospital groom

Put the ring on my finger

So tight it turns blue

Constant reminder, die in this room

If you die in this room

And sit like a watchdog

And patiently wait

And listen for footsteps

Down the hallways

Visit beds like they're graves

Days go by so slowly

Nights go by so slowly

Days go by so slowly

In a hospital room

In a box built for two

Fight for air, fight for my own air

Forget all the things I can do alone

Fight for a heart, fight for a strong heart

Fight to never know this sickness you know

And I know it's my own, I gave it a home

Love is the size of

These tumors inside us

Our love is the size of

This hole in the ground

Where my heart's buried now
