lyrics

i keep a paper with your handwriting
on the dresser in the corner of my room
next to the books i asked to borrow
i swore that i’d get them back real soon

i keep a paper with your handwriting
in a frame at the foot of my bed
it always glimmers when the sunlight hits it
but i wish it’d hit you instead

and you won’t bleed through
to the next page
and i’ll be fine
it just feels so strange

Leah got a tattoo of your handwriting
in jet black at the crook of her arm
she only sees it in the mirror
or when she’s leaning on the hood of my car

and you won’t bleed through
to the next page
and i’ll be fine
it just feels so strange

i could never decipher your handwriting
but i always liked the way it looked
circular and soft
like an artist draws a wave
heavy with all the hands you shook
heavy with all the hands you shook
heavy with all the hands you shook

i make my bed
i dot my i’s
i call my friends
always say goodnight
i mark the place
two squares aligned
i catch your breath
i carry mine
