You’re a broken mirror, you’re the shards on my floor
I saw my scattered reflection, I thought “Oh man, I’m done for”
But then I placed the pieces into a funny shape
And I made a Picasso out of my face
You’re a crack in the sidewalk on which I walked hypnotized
If I stepped upon you, my mom would be paralyzed
Now when I go out walking, I know that she’s safe
And that construction workers will fill you in someday
You’re a thirty-foot ladder, I walked right underneath
I cursed my misfortune before I went to sleep
But then in my dreams, I climbed all your rungs
And when I awoke I was looking down on what was
You’re Friday the 13th, oh I was so scared
I stayed in all day and hid under the stairs
But now it’s February and I’ll take them two at a time
Because tomorrow I will meet my new valentine
You’re a black cat that crossed my path
I thought you would haunt me, thought you would have the last laugh
So I gave you some milk and left you to scratch at my door
Because I don’t want to believe in you no more

Mari and Arthur, trudging slowly through the snow
The first of the winter but it can’t keep them in their home
He likes the adventure, she likes his picture on her phone
The fashionable boots made by snow stuck to his fur
Mari and Arthur
Content with each other
Mari and Arthur
Mari and Arthur
As they turn the corner, they see one of her old friends
Who asks about Arthur and about Mari’s new boyfriend
“When did you get him? And is he really American?”
“Back in October. And yeah, he’s the nicest one I’ve had yet!”
Mari and Arthur
Content with each other
Mari and Arthur
Mari and Arthur
And he’ll be there for her through sick days and mistakes
And when her boy goes home, he’ll lick up all of her heartache
And she’ll be holding him when the stars fall like snowflakes over his eyes
His tiny eyes search for hidden treasures beneath the white
While her pretty brown eyes comb the streets and the powdered sky
I’d like to frame them, I’d like to have them all my life
So I put my guitar down and I take their picture from behind
