Lyrics
If I wanted to remember everything
I wouldn’t look to pictures or old cassettes.
If I wanted to remember you
I wouldn’t read through scribbled notes, I’d smoke cigarettes.
If I wanted to remember how it felt to be with you
I wouldn’t close my eyes.
If I wanted to remember how you made me feel
I wouldn’t lie in bed, I would just turn out the light.
The place I remember best is a small damp hole
In the back left part of your chest.
I sat there idly while your heart pushed pins through my tongue
Making my speech bleed.
If I wanted to remember every time you saw right through
These holes in my head.
Do you really think I’d spend the last two years
Trying my best to forget?
You asked me why I could never be alone with you.
I think I’ll never tell you the truth.
It’s got something to do with how my intentions coalesce.
But you and I can never be alone.
I’d eat the meat right off your fucking bones.
If you know what I mean…
I bet you had about the hardest time
Remembering what it was that you said to me.
I had it tattooed all across my mind so once again,
Yeah, okay, I bet we’d disagree.
You kept me on my toes, no air in my lungs,
And I guess I should be somehow thankful for that,
But what the hell was I supposed to do with your promise for more
As a gun in the small of my back?
So look me in the eye and say you want to die
I’ll say, “Okay, you’re right, let’s get you nice and killed tonight,”
But baby you know me, I speak metaphorically.
And when I say “kill” you know I don’t mean it physically.
But maybe physically, if you’re really trusting me,
We can push past years that passed and get rid of this space between.
I’m drinking gasoline. You’re buried in the garden.
So put a match to me and we can watch our tendons harden.
I mean it physically.
I want you next to me.
