The Shins - Kissing the Lipless

Called to see If your back was still aligned And your sheets Were growing grass All on the corners of your bed But you've got too much to wear On your sleeves That has too much to do with me And secretly I want to bury in the yard The grey remains of a friendship scarred You told us of your new life there you got someone coming round Gluing tinsel to your crown He's got you talking pretty loud You berate remember Your ailing heart and your criminal eyes You say you're still in love If it's true, what can be done? It's hard to leave all these moments behind Called to see If your back Was still aligned And your sheets Were growing grass All on the corners of your bed But you've got too much to wear On your sleeves That has too much to do with me And secretly I want to bury in the yard The grey remains of a friendship scarred You tested your mettle On doe skin and petals While kissing the lipless Who bleed all the sweetness away
