lyrics

You’re the smell of the toast you made in the mornings
You’re the page in my book I keep to myself
You’re the unlocking sound when I turn my door key
You’re the scar that I have from the time that I fell

I can’t describe the faces
And I can’t recall the names
But you remain

I keep you in the creases
I hide you in the folds
Protect you from the sunlight
Shield you from the cold
Everybody said they were glad to see you go
But no one ever has to know

You’re the part of the moon that blends into blackness
Even though we know it’s really still there
You’re the song that I sing and I don’t need to practice 
You’re the green shirt I keep though it’s too small to wear

The things that I refuse to see
And all the nights I still can’t sleep
I curl between the sheets 
The creases where you used to be

Once love wakes it never sleeps
Even when you love a dream
