See What Happens Next

I lost my fingertips
I left em in your hair
I touched you once to much now the cops are coming in
I’m not the only lover you had from time to time
You kept their DNA
Their names all slipped your mind
In the mirror and the glass you watch em going by
The truth was always there hiding in the lie
Down the garden path laying in the thorns a tired old lover is waiting to be
born
But you are no ones mother or not yet anyway
Theres far too much of you you can’t give away
It’s alright
Just a trick of light
Don’t pay it no mind
Happens all the time
Let it just keep happening
In the morning I still think of you in different parts drifting of to sleep
Getting sober in the bath
Alice says you cry I remember you that way
Laying in my arms watch the traffic dance for you
From the skydive of my room we stay above it all
Until it’s time to go hear your footsteps down the hall
An echo getting lost looking for itself
If you were hard to love I could never tell
So if you see my fingertips I’ll gladly take them back
To remember who I am if it ain’t too late for that
It’s alright
Just a trick of light
Don’t pay it no mind
Happens all the time
If you come back around here
Or you’re just passing through
You can look me up you wanna but don’t feel like you have to
Let’s see what happens now
