lyrics

All the places I once felt your body on my body I feel nothing--that’s a lie but it gets truer everyday. There are lines on my face that you have never touched, I’ve aged by years not nights and there are curves on me that would be stranger terrain to your fingertips. We’ve both got lovers who are making new maps of our bodies in their minds--tracing routes into hearts and finding gold inside those minds. I wonder how often you think of the rush of my hands upon your back sifting the pyrite like sand from the tan glow sweat of the crest of your shoulder blade. Don’t wait, we’ve cut the cord already. Let it fade, the history we carry. Together we untether, you and I severed. I don’t wake up lost like a ghost haunting the halls of a house you haven’t lived in in years anymore--I sleep through the night soul and body at ease with the absence of you. I no longer tie myself down to the bed scared that my head will float away on a daydream zephyr and land in some sad little memory where you fed me orange-slice-scrap of affection leftover from someone else’s plate--your kiss like a rusted open gate. No, I don’t think of you with hate. I think of our love as a seed that once was a flower that once was a seed that once was nothing. Without water and without sun to nothing it will return. Don’t wait, we’ve cut the cord already. Let it fade, the history we carry. Together we untether, you and I severed. / Once more my words find your front door. Forgive me, I imagine that that bruise is still sore. I can’t tell you I’ve never loved you, I can’t tell you you’re nothing at all. The truth is because I loved you I have learned that I’m not afraid to fall. It scares me to imagine you’ll forget me. I’m naive to want everything that I see around me to stay and never leave. I’m sorry, I just caught you in my wake, put me out to see. I can’t tell you I’ve never loved you, I can’t tell you you’re nothing at all. The truth is because I loved you I have learned that I’m not afraid to fall. Like Scott said, I’ll stow away my grays now. In my head you’re happier now anyhow. Thank you for doing what I could not do--you’ve severed the rope around my waist and cut me loose. I can’t tell you I’ve never loved you, I can’t tell you you’re nothing at all. The truth is because I loved you I have learned that I’m not afraid to fall.

Always forward, that is the mantra.
