Oh, how we lay like spoiled skin beneath the leaves Oh, how the ring will never fit the finger properly If I could rip it from its bond I'd tie your eyes to me so tight Because the years are getting slower Oh, I'm a suitcase with the hinges bursting free As to say you're stuffed too full You have to give your lover's throat away So through each pore I sweat the linger of your love away So fast because our love is getting slippery Somehow the sky is holding up the heavens But I can't get the ground to hold the earth up anymore And all our friends are finding life inside the ocean But my pockets scream you can't afford to live there anymore For all of my life I will keep you in my lower leg Where all my sins are piled right up to my shoulder blade And I will visit you with thoughts of the left side of my brain Until the artery leads me back to you
