lyrics

I bit my tongue
It got me in trouble
Tear droplet couples
On my crooked face
From where they fall
A cave like December
A cave to remember
A cave keeps me safe
Safe from the sun
Safe from the sidewalk
She listens when I talk
She knows me so well
Like permanent food
Old conversations
Etched on the pavement
Between me and you

She spelled my name
With peach flower petals
A beach built by pebbles
Exists at her toes
and as she speaks
I stop to listen
My ear to the base of
The bones on her cheek
And as we breathe
The whole world's a-breathing
And all hearts are beating
The hearts that remain
And oh, how we walk
With feet we’re controlling
Coming and going
Wherever we please
