Verse One
I’ll meet you at Blue Nile
For injera and tibs
We’ll talk about our parents
We’ll name our future kids
And we’ll rifle through the scores
At Tupper and Reed
We’ll laugh at teenagers
Drinking beer and smoking weed
But there’s something gargantuan
That you are not giving me
Chorus
Beneath a beautiful lie
It’s not what you think
You wrote out your life
In invisible Ink
Verse Two
We’ll start a summer Sunday
At Skates on the Bay
I’ll rig a rental lido
And we’ll sail away
You’ll tell me your whole life
A long list of deeds
We’ll plan out our vacations
To Rome and Madrid
But you’ll never once mention
The essential fact of your life
Chorus
Beneath a beautiful lie
It’s not what you think
You wrote out your life
In invisible Ink
Bridge
But you’ll excuse yourself
At McCormick and Schmidt’s
And you’ll be gone so long
That I was worried you’re sick
So I’ll go see what’s keeping you
And hear you on the phone
Telling someone, somewhere, you’ll soon be home
So kiss the kids, those beautiful kids, goodnight
And that’s when I see it
A subtle indentation
On the finger of the hand
The hand that I just held
Verse Three
As we walked from the car
And I walk back alone
With no idea
Not a single thought of who you really are
Chorus
Beneath a beautiful lie
It’s not what you think
You wrote out your life
In invisible Ink
