Magazines

[Verse 1]
I've come to terms with the fact
That some parts of you I can know but I can't understand
But that night in December when we started dating
Think I got as close as you can
Your mom flew back from Canada and though we just met
I felt comfortable holding her hand
Skipped all the small talk, went straight to the silence
Sat there and prayed for your dad

[Chorus]
Magazines, fluorescent lights
The three of us staying awake through the night
Close to me, cramped at the door
The doctors and nurses had seen it before
Thеy said "Boy, you should leave, they'll bе fine"
I said "Thanks, that's okay, I'll stay by her side"

[Verse 2]
We went from practically strangers to permanent lovers
It just took a couple of days
There were people around in hospital gowns
And meals of aluminium trays
Think about it's terrible losing a parent
The worst thing that life puts you through
You keep getting coffee and saying you're sorry
But you can't do much from that damn waiting room

[Chorus]
Magazines, fluorescent lights
The three of us staying awake through the night
Close to me, cramped at the door
The doctors and nurses had seen it before
They said "Boy, you should leave, they'll be fine"
I said "Thanks, that's okay, I'll stay by her side"
