lyrics

I could touch you all day
still I’d be 93 million miles away
an astronomical unit to your core
and still I can feel your heat
you look for a face to put on your love
any arms to allow your feelings
to meet

when she can’t come
she cries
when our eyes open
they lie
nothing left to do but
end this orbit
something like gravity keeps us
circling circling

mascara on my pillows
I can count the fights
the sun stopped coming up
so lets turn out the lights

close my heart and lean towards you
and then I’m kissing air
I can only hold one shape of you
I can only be one shade of me
the rest just is not there

when she can’t come, she cries
dance dance dance dance
a flower tearing out her
roots (bloody roots bloody)
nowhere to go but away from the sun
and into the shade of my embrace

do I miss you
or do I miss you missing me?
do you miss me
or do you miss the person you wanted me to be?
