Gord Downie Coco Chanel No. 5
I could tell the truth
Or I could tell a lie
Or say the right thing
At the right time
We started out writing good letters back and forth
Me in Memphis recording
Yours were scented with Coco No. 5
We roast 'em young writing things
I could tell the truth
Or I could tell a lie
Or say the right thing
At the right time
Like I miss you so much in person and up close
When we f..cked till we fought
Away from each other we could manage to see
Just what it was that we got
In absentia we were better off
Finding new places to stand
Finding new signs of resignation
For the wishes we shared
I could tell the truth
Or I could tell a lie
Or say the right thing
At the right time
