lyrics

She said: there’s no repeating
All the words she rolled to you with her own tongue
Death set like pennies on the railroad track
In a nightmare mingled with the truth
She said: “what if now I can’t get back to you?” X2

Postmarks that read like disappointment
whispers that you meant send a long time ago
Collect like leaves inside the gutter
your flooded heart it sputters now for June
and the undertaker took the sun down at high (C)noon
Seeing signs like fleeting you’re turning down your chin
At the bottom of the Battle there’s a ship to sail away in
When immortality seems like it’s given or for free
You want to break it down like she brought you to your knees

She said, or would’ve if she’d been there
“Picture me in sun bit trees and let me go”
You heard the glass break on your forehead
The phone call that you let fall of the hook
to cry into a photograph you took.

Forget is not a word you know
There is no after glow just love
For the girl whose happiness will always have been rushed
For the girl whose happiness will always be
