Open Season - Eleanor Friedberger

Have you seen the movie yet?

There’s a lot about it in the press

It made me think of you

Did it make you think of me?

Is it freezing over there?

I’m opening a tree museum

That’s my new hobby

25,000 reasons

And you only needed one

Open season has begun, begun

I may be over in the spring

To do a little spring cleaning

I don’t know where you are

But you’re not on the old street

Where we got a place together

That was never my address

Now here’s the receipt

It’s as though I lost my voice

I couldn’t make you do it

And now I have no choice

25,000 reasons

And you only needed one

Open season has begun, begun

There are many distractions

Sapping all my energy

Did you find the antique needles?

And the money in the ceiling?

No need to thank me

I left it where you’d find it

Beneath the oil of the Aegean sea
