Who is much more than a friend
~#**************#~
But never by my side?
~#**************#~
All beginnings are an end
~#**************#~
In the blackness there’s a light
~#**************#~
Maybe you will only read
~#**************#~
One or two letters at the most
~#**************#~
Shipping crates might line the streets
~#**************#~
Every stranger is a ghost
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
Cashiers won’t deduct the pain
~#**************#~
Loneliness sleeps on the couch
~#**************#~
Only noticing the stain
~#**************#~
Once the color’s faded out
~#**************#~
Let’s go camping in the cold
~#**************#~
Make a fire, buy a tent
~#**************#~
Envision leather getting old
~#**************#~
Re-send pigeons that were sent
~#**************#~
[Verse 3]
~#**************#~
Try to memorize your smell
~#**************#~
It reminds me of a field
~#**************#~
Crickets clearer than a bell
~#**************#~
Have all their guts recast in steel
~#**************#~
Birds don’t cry when echoes quit
~#**************#~
They trail off into the fog
~#**************#~
Autumn hurts far less than sticks
~#**************#~
Knowing winter’s five feet tall
~#**************#~
[Verse 4]
~#**************#~
Generations of defeat
~#**************#~
All assuming youre the worst
~#**************#~
They never tied the cans
~#**************#~
To the back end of a hearse
~#**************#~
Take your hand against my own
~#**************#~
If there’s a finger I can grip
~#**************#~
Reassure me at the ace
~#**************#~
Mine’s a black heart you could flip
~#**************#~
[Verse 5]
~#**************#~
I’ve come to terms with what I have
~#**************#~
What’s been given, what’s been asked
~#**************#~
Turn my back against the sea
~#**************#~
And beg the serpent for a dance
~#**************#~
But in the red dirt muddy towns
~#**************#~
Celebration of the dark
~#**************#~
Children walking hand in hand
~#**************#~
With the pygmies in zee park
~#**************#~
[Verse 6]
~#**************#~
I can’t touch you only once
~#**************#~
You always leave me wanting more
~#**************#~
So keep my feet within the house
~#**************#~
And stick my toes just past the door
~#**************#~
[Outro]
~#**************#~
Let me know when I’m in love
~#**************#~
Let me die when I’m in love
