my lyricsbox
The yellowed page of the books and books I'd forgotten that I had
These paperbacks
They know their age
They smell of weight and time that's resting warm
The opened box beside the endless box parade that haunts my house
Is fit to split
With photographs that tell the wanderlust of years smashed on to years

When all this actual life played out where the hell on Earth was I
I rack my brains but it won't come
Through water damaged bloodshot eyes
The fleeting triumphs
Brazen lies
All seem to mingle into one

I read your name under words in your elegant hand
You probably don't mean now
I fold the letter
And think of a million and one things that I could have done different

When all this actual life played out where the hell on Earth was I
I rack my brains but it won't come
Through water damaged bloodshot eyes
The fleeting triumphs
Brazen lies
All seem to mingle into one

One gigantic fairy tale of friends I haven't seen in years
Drinking 'til the daylight hurts
You seem friendly
Who are you
That's a lot of wine that we got through
We've made playtime look like work

Please just take these photos from my hands
Please just take these photos from my hands

Please just take these photos from my hands
Please just take these photos from my hands

Please just take these photos from my hands
Please just take these photos from my hands

Please just take these photos from my hands
Please just take these photos from my hands
This song is from the album "A Hundred Million Suns".
