Bent Knee - EVE lyrics

Every lawn is green Every fence is white You're the only thing I see When I close my eyes I touch your gears, I see green lights I taste your tears, they're just like mine I kiss your joints, I smell your skin You hear my voice collapsing Collapsing I have a finished basement with a thick carpet So my footsteps stay quiet as I tip down the stairs At four in the morning while the kids are all sleeping I'm busy a**embling a secret worth keeping From buckets of Legos, a trunk full of gaff tape Arms, legs, a mouth, it's finally breathing I kiss its right angles and crackling joints You're sweeter than Sophie, more caring than Lisa Now back in your cupboard, the sun is soon rising Must be driving my children to school At upon each stoplight or choke point in traffic I'm dreaming in daylight of last night and romance I'm dreaming of love so hidden and novel That's blind to conditions beyond my control Not rude nor suspicious, immune to diseases A love that will last when I'm at last left alone, alone Every lawn is green Every fence is white You're the only thing I see When I close my eyes I touch your gears, I see green lights I taste your tears, they're just like mine I kiss your joints, I smell your skin You hear my voice collapsing Collapsing
