lyrics

April came and we buried our conversation,
when we were through we stuck our adolescence in the ground
records would skip our favorite song seven minutes in
we’d sing it loud to repel the ghosts that swarmed around.

Spring it fled so quickly and we waged a war between our lips.
My only artillery were those several words that made you sick.

There's a room i spent my summer and it's stuck in my brain
I remember every color, recognize every shade
but I fear every floorboard has forgotten my name
so i doubt i'll be back there again

these feelings don't translate, these words don't resolve
there's traces of your grace that i am yet to have robbed
there's some of your memories that just won't dissolve
so you bleach them out instead

and what was it that happened to that thing you call love?
did it fit you too loosely, did it fit like a glove?
did it fit you too tightly, did it push did it shove?
or did it slip away unseen?

did those boys love you too much for the way that you kissed?
did they love you for all of those meals that you missed?
did they love that you'd never ball up a fist
or stand up and say no to them?

Well it’s much too different now but we’re still just as dumb and blind,
you bite your lip I hold my tongue when they ask about a second time.

But my clock is stuck at 6:37 and your mind is stuck on something you can’t have. Erase our words, avert our eyes then laugh it off and wrap it up and bring it back to the beginning.
