lyrics

The bump on your shoulder the nape of your neck
Those tiny toenails
The scar on your finger the curve of your hips
Hairs on your ear lobe the bones in your wrist
All of the parts I’ll forget to remember
The way that your hands curl inside your sweater

I’m walking hollow rooms
It’s all that I can do
Painting over these walls
Forgetting it all

I look in the mirror study the image
Assessing the defects
The city is empty except for us dogs
All left or leaving the highways are clogged
You’re on your bike now you’re in a plane
A rocket ship hurtling so far away

I’m walking hollow rooms
It’s all that I can do
Painting over these walls
Forgetting it all

I’ve forgotten the feeling of falling in love
All I can hope for is never enough
Sensing a tremor pulsing in time
I look out the window the sun and the river and how they align
