lyrics

left my old spot so I packed the things
you’d want from me
a cake knife
a swinging light

hung like a wreathe or
the bed we made
I’ll always wait
arms splayed, yes I’ll always wait

setting my things down
they’ll blend into your house
a spiral case
falling with grace

I’ll have it coming cuz I
damn near know nothing
you taught me babe
so i guess I will
guess I will stay

Read all the notes
in the books you keep
oh lucky me
knowing you
the things you do

Wish I could play long
all happy and sing song
all you feel
looks nice from here

couldn’t bear leave
oh but staying would be
hogging you babe
there’s no other way

pierce through dimensions
of time and of space
blazing a third that’s not going nor staying
that's not going or staying

left my old spot
yes I left my old spot
just to come back and save the rot
scrape together all we got
