You still cross my mind from time to time
|
|
And I mostly smile
|
|
Still so set on finding out where we went wrong and
|
|
Why
|
|
|
|
So I retrace our every step with an unsure pen
|
|
Trying to figure out what my head thinks, but
|
|
My head just ain't what it used to be
|
|
And then again, what's the point anyway?
|
|
|
|
I remember you ascending all the stairs up to the balcony
|
|
To see if you could see me, hidden quietly away
|
|
I remember the skin of your fingers
|
|
The spot three quarters up I'd always touch when I was out of things to say
|
|
|
|
You held my hand, but you were too afraid to speak
|
|
You were too afraid to speak and I could never understand
|
|
I remember when you leaned in quick to kiss me, and I swear
|
|
Not a single force on earth could stop the trembling of my hand
|
|
|
|
And I remember how you smiled through the smoke
|
|
In a crowded little coffee house and laughed at all my jokes
|
|
And I remember the way that you dressed
|
|
How we wasted all the best of us in alcohol and sweat
|
|
|
|
And I remember when I knew that you'd be leaving
|
|
How I barely kept up breathing
|
|
And I bet, if I had to do it all again
|
|
I'd feel the same pain
|
|
|
|
And I remember panicked circles
|
|
In the terminal in tears
|
|
How I wept to god in fits
|
|
I've hated airports ever since
|
|
|
|
It must be true what people say
|
|
That only time can heal the pain
|
|
And every single day I feel it fade away, but
|
|
|
|
I still remember how the distance tricked us
|
|
And lead us helpless by the wrist into a pit to be devoured
|
|
I still remember how we held so strong to this
|
|
Though we had never really settled on a way out
|
|
|
|
I still remember the silence
|
|
And how we'd always find a way to turn and run to our mistakes
|
|
I still remember how it all came back together
|
|
Just to fall apart again
|
|
|
|
My dear, I hear your voice in mine
|
|
|
|
I've been alone here
|
|
I've been alone here
|
|
I've been afraid, my dear
|
|
I've been afraid, my dear
|
|
|
|
I've been at home here
|
|
I've been at home here
|
|
You've been away for years
|
|
You've been away for years
|
|
|
|
I've been alone
|
|
I've been alone
|
|
I've been alone
|
|
I've been alone
|
|
|
|
I breathed your name into the air
|
|
I etched your name into me
|
|
I felt my anger swelling
|
|
I swam into its sea
|
|
|
|
I held your name inside my heart
|
|
But it got buried in my fear
|
|
It tore the wiring of my brain
|
|
I did my best to keep it clear
|
|
|
|
So, dear, no matter how we part
|
|
I hold you sweetly in my head
|
|
And if I do not miss a part of you
|
|
A part of me is dead
|
|
|
|
If I can't love you as a lover
|
|
I will love you as a friend
|
|
And I will lay a bed before you
|
|
Keep you safe until the end
|
