In a rusty memory I thought I threw away ages ago
I came across your name on my lips but I had forgotten
what it was like to say it, though it kind of rolls off the tongue,
but I won't bother saying it now since it tastes odd in my mouth.
I came across your name on my lips. I had forgotten
since you don't remember the way it sounded coming from me,
but I won't bother saying it now. It tastes odd in my mouth
because it's been too long since you last took my hand and smiled with me beneath the stars
since you don't remember the way it sounded coming from me,
You know, my gravity came from you.
it's been too long since you last took my hand and smiled with me beneath the stars
Some kind of appeal always kept
my gravity coming from you
my eyes on your jaw, gracing me with a bouquet of streetlamps.
Some kind of appeal always kept
a smirk dancing on your lips while you danced in the street,
my eyes on your jaw, gracing me with a bouquet of streetlamps
still always pulling, tugging, always having a hold on me
with the smirk dancing on your lips while you danced in the street
well, everywhere. You were cosmos, even when you thought you weren't
always pulling, tugging, always having a hold on me,
you were just a man with no senses you knew
well, everything. You were cosmos, even when you thought
anything about the world and all of its wonders
while I was so preciously human and you were something else entirely
you were just a man with no senses you knew
I thought there may have been
anything about the world and all of its wonders
you were just a man with no senses you knew
there may have been someone before you that mattered, but I don't remember
anything about the world and all of its wonders
before now. But you were the one who looked into my desires
there may have been someone before you that mattered, but I don't remember
those exhaled galaxies. You touched my skin with electrons and spoke
before now. But you were the onlooker of my desires
in clouds. You said there was nothing that mattered in the universe,
there may have been someone before you that mattered, but I don't remember,
just us. Well, you said there were atoms and us. But for me
you were the one who looked into my desires
there was only you. There was only you,
just us. Well, you said there were atoms and us. But for me
just a rusted memory I threw away years ago.
I came across your name on my lips. I had forgotten
there was only you. There was only you,
your name on my lips that I had forgotten
but I won't bother saying it now. It tastes odd in my mouth.
