The Shins - Kissing The Lipless lyrics

rate me

Called to see

If your back

was still aligned

And your sheets

Were growing grass

All on the corners of your bed

But you've got too much to wear

On your sleeves

That has too much to do with me

And secretly

I want to bury in the yard

The grey remains of a friendship scarred

You told us of your new life there

you got someone coming 'round

Gluing tinsel to your crown

He's got you talkin' pretty loud

you berate remember

Your ailing heart and your criminal eyes

You say you're still in love

If it's true, what can be done?

It's hard to leave all these moments behind

Called to see

If your back

Was still aligned

And your sheets

Were growing grass

All on the corners of your bed

But you've got too much to wear

On your sleeves

That has too much to do with me

And secretly

I want to bury in the yard

The grey remains of a friendship scarred

You tested your mettle

On doe skin and petals

While kissing the lipless

Who bleed all the sweetness away
