Close me up
Swallow what I’ve spoken
I swear, I’ll deny it
So just ignore your need to be the town cryer
Don’t give me those eyes
When you know I’ve done something wrong
But you’re good enough to forgive me
Last night we were working in a coal mine
And telling each other we were making love
These are the things that stay and define
My eyes
Your ears
I should have shaved my arms
You should have not got caught
I should have asked more questions
These are the little ways that you mend a worn-down sweater
That you wear with the mildest chill
Because it smells of your favourite spring
These are the little ways that I travel through your circulation
And you connect my bones like dots
The thunder and lightning
The hair and the skin
are the measurements of time and space
that I store in the cellar of your eyes
So all I have to do to remember
is look
Swallow what I’ve spoken
I swear, I’ll deny it
So just ignore your need to be the town cryer
Don’t give me those eyes
When you know I’ve done something wrong
But you’re good enough to forgive me
Last night we were working in a coal mine
And telling each other we were making love
These are the things that stay and define
My eyes
Your ears
I should have shaved my arms
You should have not got caught
I should have asked more questions
These are the little ways that you mend a worn-down sweater
That you wear with the mildest chill
Because it smells of your favourite spring
These are the little ways that I travel through your circulation
And you connect my bones like dots
The thunder and lightning
The hair and the skin
are the measurements of time and space
that I store in the cellar of your eyes

These are the little ways that I travel through your circulation
And you connect my bones like dots
are my favourites.
They remind me of the Weezer song Only In Dreams
You can't resist her.
She's in your bones.
She is your marrow
And your ride home.
