And every sentence that I spoke began and ended in ellipsis

Each of eight fingers gripping what he wrote, clung on tightly, like parenthesis
And for each correctly used apostrophe
I could feel my heart sink inside my chest in front of me

So, maybe the lining of a winter's coat
Mightn't be the best place to hide a summer secret

You said every photo that you took that festival
Got lost in your camera in an insurance scam
And though underexposed, I could see from the quality

His K Records t-shirt and you holding his hand
And I know he took you to the beach
I can tell from how you bite on your cheek
Every time the sand falls from your insoles
And when our eyes meet

All that I can read, is "you're the B-side"
They say, "it's not what you like, it's what you're like as a person"

Well, I need new hobbies, that's one thing for certain

"Not what you like, but what you're like as a person"

Well, I need new hobbies, that's one thing for certain
