lyrics
My Love is gone
Awake and left the bed
The smell of stale coffee knocks around my head
The pot is still warm
There's barely any left
Boy he vanished quick
I feel exposed I haven't dressed
My thoughts are dragging
Working overtime to explain
How someone could leave
Without telling you their name
He left a note
The handwriting is perfect and severe
This was a mistake
I never should have slept here
You remind me that i don't belong
In a world that's soft and calm
I sank to the floor
Trying to find my form
The quiet is real
In the middle of the storm
The first time is one to remember
In a sea of moving space
Lovers swimming circles
Trying to keep up with the pace
We were both running from something
But your feet were starting to slow
And i swear you were calling me from a life i already know
Both standing at a red light
Waiting for the sign to change
A rat race all around us tired and deranged
At first I looked away the resemblance was too strong
Time had opened up
And pulled you back to where you belong
The minutes they fell away i'd fallen back in love
Rescued from the ugly place that cages doves
I almost said his name but you wouldn't have turned
But to hear it across my lips was something i had earned
My throat started to open my breath came rushing in
The lock doors in our abandoned house
were opening again
I felt electric
sorting through the way you would sing
I felt electric
Thinking about how you would sing to me
The ones we leave behind
Never leave our mind
The ones that push ahead
Never leave our bed
The memories are a delicate thread
That sew together every word we've said
