He Comes for Conversation (Live) lyrics

He comes for conversation
I comfort him sometimes
Comfort and consultation
He knows that's what he'll find

I bring him apples and cheeses
He brings me songs to play
He sees me when he pleases
I see him in cafes

But I only say hello
And turn away before his lady knows
How much I wanna see him

She removes him like a ring
To wash her hands
She only takes him out to show her friends
I wanna free him

Secrets and sharing soda
That's how our time began
Love is a story told to a friend
It's second hand

I listen to his questions
I give my answers when they're found
He says she keeps him guessing
But I know she keeps him down
She speaks in sorry sentences
Miraculous repentances
I don't believe her

Tomorrow he will come to me
And speak his sorrows endlessly and he'll ask me why
"Why can't I leave her?"

He comes for conversation
I comfort him sometimes
Comfort and consultation
He knows that's what he'll find
He knows that's what he'll find
