lyrics

Hey it’s me, yeah you don’t say, it’s been a while
through the speakerphone I can hear your smile.
Hey, I was wondering if you’d stick around this time
through satellites and static I know you’re doing just fine.
Hey, don’t care if this starts a fight
but I still haven’t worn the clothes that you took off me that night.
Hey no one told me about this cold
that you feel when you’re all alone.

I can feel it even when it’s not there
and that’s the most frustrating part
it’s like trying to hold hands with someone that you love
but you’ve lost both your arms.

Hey, it’s me, yeah you don’t say it’s been a while
I buried your teeth so I can’t see you smile.
Hey, someone please donate your skin
if you pity me I’ll love you, it’s a win-win.
Hey, there’s this gaping hole in my chest
I can’t explain what used to be inside but I’ll do my best

I can feel it even when it’s not there
and that’s the most frustrating part
it’s like trying to hold hands with someone that you love
but you’ve lost both your arms.

I’ll keep reaching out to something long gone
I'll keep waking up with less of my body in bed with me
I don’t know how I’m expected to go on
with only stitches where my joints used to be.
I’ll keep tending to that negative space
have you ever tried to put words to a lack of something?
No I can’t start or finish this race
if I’m preoccupied explaining the sensation of
nothing.
