Simple song, but gorgeous and a strong early contender for saddest song of 2013. Enjoy!  
The lyrics: 

 I cling to indifference, you to your worst memory 
dark winter morning you honk your car horn at me 
and I will grow out of all the empty bottles in my closet 
and you'll quit having dreams about a swan dive to the hard asphalt 
ooh, ooh... 

won't you sleep with me every night for a week 
won't you just let me pretend this is the love I need 
and I will grow out of all the empty words I often speak 
and you will be depleted, but much better off without me 
ooh, ooh... 

you hold on to the past, you make yourself miserable 
and I'm ruled by seasons and sadness that's inexplicable 
and we will find a way to be lonely any chance we get 
and I'll keep having dreams about loveless marriage and regret 
ooh, ooh...
