It's six p.m. and you're talking to me Outside through my gray phone Fragments of truth spoken Are like half of notes written Fear that yet to be seen whole It's eleven and I'm at your door Through the miles between Your gaze has grown older But I still see that same frame I stole when I was sixteen In this foreign air I breathe With your familiar scent My head is whispering Was everything since her Just some hopeless searching To re-find that place Where I knew I should be Nothing has ever felt as clean As it did in you And every step I took since then Was defined by what I learned Standing next or away from you And it's funny to think What I thought I understood What I barely knew And I'm still not sure Letras de cancionesIf you mean what you say If your wet eyes are telling the truth Now the meaning of time is gone And I'm singing that song in my head I feel your lips grab mine As we stumble in the darkness Towards the depths Of those sheets of your bed I'm younger again The pages are being reread There were words that I missed the first time They've slept under my skin Since I was crucified to your body With what we said And what I thought you meant Now I'm un-decorating her body As I slip off and put on my shirt This lie is my life, I thought she was pure But it is not the first time My vision has been blurred But I just wanted to believe in you I've been staring at a godless sky too long And I need to stop singing songs And just lie down in the dirt where I belong Dawn's ink has ran, and I'm in her grass Headed towards my car, she's sleeping I feel heavy, not quick But then I feel something touch my arm And begin to uplift My darling Benj, don't leave I never told you everything How much I've wept Since the moment you left And ever since your voice Has been beating through my chest I am yours and nothing that can make that die Even if I tried Knock on wood We've fallen with the plants Waiting for our seeds to grow But frost is not my friend And it's beginning to snow I feel like a child going wild As he rolls in his bliss, so innocent But how I'm nowhere near innocent I can't ignore where I've been What you've seen, what it's done Who we've hurt, what it's all become Those notes that used to ring through my head Are no longer a hesitant hum But I wish I could sing them to you How I wish you would sing them to me How I long for that ringing harmony Hear it now, timeless It's one week later and I'm in her bed At her parents' house The place I learned to learn, lose, or love More than time should allow And it's strange 'Cause I know I shouldn't be here Singing this song, It's why I've been trying To escape its sound for so fucking long But now I wouldn't mind staying here with her Until that headboard became a gravestone (Thanks to Kate for these lyrics) From Letras Mania
