Matt Hammon - Gauze Of Friendship lyrics

You think you love him / or someone like him He reminds you of a boy you dated once or twice Just about the same size / just about the same eyes The only difference being the cadence in his voice So much in common / woven out of cotton Or silky like the spider's web, so fragile in the wind The chains that bind us / serving to remind us Anchors hold the ships at bay when high tides rush in Maybe a tattoo, or a name laid in the tile I guess you think he's staying for a while Something to remember, a faint and distant smile I guess you plan on staying for a while It's kind of frantic / we all long to be romantic You try to give yourself away and hope he never leaves But nothing matters / when heart goes pitter patter No sense of unconditional, it's me who you deceive A window with a view of present, past and future Wrapped in the gauze of friendship anew And mothers without fathers to help install the cupboards Wrapped in the gauze of friendship anew It's kind of funny / today it might turn sunny The birds are coming back from winter flights away And if you miss them / I'll be sure to wish them A welcome back from both of us And hope that they might stay
