lyrics

my heart is a beehive
a colony alive just working for you
my head is a disco ball
showering the hall in nostalgia for two
my body is a rocket
about to launch into some galaxy no one knew
your voice is the nameless song
i've heard all my life
your hands are the one
in house stuck playing wife
your eyes are silence
ivied and cold slice me like a knife

oh where has that haze of spring gone?
i am empty as your mother’s dress you once tried on
and i have loved you for so long
since i was a child you have carried me along

and i guess i'm just a temporary feeling
i'm gone away all too soon
but the memory of me still sends you reeling
just in time before i disappear from your mind

my soul is excitement
you get when you’re left home alone
my arms are the comfort
tucked in a bed that’s your own
my wrists are where i feel you
blood circulating tied around a bone
your shoulders are basement beams
weary with ache
your secret is partly known
like guests at a wake
your feelings are the candles taking no age
stolen off the cake

oh where has that winter sting gone?
i am as silver as the streets the night you led me on
and it's not your fault you've done wrong
sometimes this life will put you where it's hard to be strong

and i guess i'm just a temporary feeling
i'm gone away all too soon
but the memory of me still sends you reeling
just in time before i disappear from your mind

and i don't wanna let us go
promise you won't lose your hold of me
cause you should know by now
you're someone i can't live without
at least for now

but baby if only it were easier
