lyrics

I'll bet you didn't know I keep a box of your old letters
Stashed inside my closet next to old class notes
I read them tonight and I stared up at the ceiling
Going over every single word you wrote

I saw your love wrapped in every line of cursive
It's a feeling I haven't thought about in years
Do you still think what we did was for the better?
Do you smell decaying October in the air?

You used to write like there was only ever sunshine
Like those shadows took us by surprise
I used to think that the sun was always setting
And it's what put the sparkle in your eye

With the three hour car ride after all of my confessions
The week long silence when you shared yours
The subtle smirk at all our indescretions
The things that built us and soon became lore

We desecrated a sanctuary from the parking lot
In the backseat of your car
Just our bodies under burning stars
Now I notice those balls of light to which we owe our breath
Are absent unlike when they lit your breast

And I can feel your phantom forming

For the last time in the middle of the night
I know that you always dissapate in the coming morning light
So I turn my focus and I shift my head
To the body sleeping next to me, the breath that shares my bed

And soon she'll be gone and I'll be her ghost too
Call it a casualty in the life that we get through
But I'm scared of dying and I'm running out of time
To write some stories paired with words that rhyme

Back to the closet that's where shadows belong
I don't need your voice saying the things that I've done wrong
Your cursive loops are a noose for my throat
Did I forget that? Did I never really know?

The bags with my eyes carry you with me now
I can't make your sound fall out of my mouth
Good bye, good luck, I loved you, my dear
By the time she rises, you were never even here
