Exactly As Planned - CAELIS Babylon
Has to laugh before the room does
Always have or so they say
No one knows some borrowed echoes
Found a home and chose to stay
You once turned our worst disasters
Into stories we could stand
Every little broken moment
Ended with the same old line
Well that went exactly as planned
Then we'd laugh until it hurt again
Exactly as planned
That's what we'd always say
When life fell all around us
And nothing went our way
Exactly as planned
Now strangers say it too
They never hear the memory
Hidden inside those words of you
When you left, I packed the pictures
Sent your books back one by one
I believed I'd cleared the pieces
Thought the hardest part was done
No one warns you simple language
Learns to live beneath your skin
Tiny phrases keep on breathing
Long after love has ended I
Never chose to keep that joke
You quietly chose to keep me
Exactly as planned
The words I'd lived by
They still arrive before I know
The reason that I smile
Exactly as planned
The room keeps laughing on
Only I can hear the voice
That made those words feel like our own
Last weekend my nephew dropped
A bowl of popcorn on the floor
He looked at me with guilty eyes
And somehow I knew the line before I spoke
Well that went exactly as planned
He laughed so hard he couldn't breathe
And for a moment
So did I
Exactly as planned
Some memories never fade
They stop belonging to the past
And find new lives to live today
Exactly as planned
You never really knew
You left your way of seeing life
Inside the ordinary things I do
I used to think
Memories lived in photographs
Now I know
Sometimes they live
Inside one ordinary sentence
That still makes me smile
Before I remember why
