lyrics

Anna tied one on.
Looked up at the ceiling
And took her sweater off.
Took off all her feelings.
She looks good. Goddamn.
And she buries me in it.
And the piled-up feelings
Put their wrinkles on.

A part of me
Doesn’t like it at all…
It flails,
Freshly wounded.
Apart from me,
I try not to wonder at all…
Her details.
I play it stupid.

And she leaves...
Remember reading Still Life
When we were seventeen?
At Isabel’s house, some part you read to me
About making love stay…
Well, what did it say?
Then you went away…

Now, I feel tied down
To a world with you in it.
I tried to cut the feelings off,
And God buried me in it.
It feels right. Goddamn.
My world with you in it.
Like sulfur in my blood.
Every song wants you in it.

It’s part of me.
My love is building my bones.
It wails,
Like a little baby.
All of me
Has to linger upon your details.
Breathe your mystery.

I awoke.
Panicked in bed
At what you said to me.
My sleepless, space head
Floating off of me.
My love isn’t easy.
Like a great work of art,
It has to be hard.

I wear my lies on top.
But, I’m underneath in it.
Glowing in my feelings.
Floating to the ceiling
She looks good. Goddamn.
But, I can’t enjoy a minute.
She takes her sweater off.
But, I can’t remove my feelings.
There’s a world with you in it.
There’s a world with you in it.
