Parenthetical Girls - Here's To Forgetting lyrics
[Parenthetical Girls - Here's To Forgetting lyrics]
I could scarcely eye the street
Your skin was bathed in amber light
And rain streaks
And for the remainder of the ride
You slept silent beside
From cradled heart-shaped cheeks
And legs crossed at the knee
And I turned twenty-two and wrapped
In tangled sheets with you
On the unfamiliar floors
Of people that you knew
Now we, we've fallen out of touch
Kill pleasantries in such and truth be told
I think of you much too much
And once I whispered soft discreet
As you lay beside asleep
Your mouth agape and sweet
With bookends on your knees
And with pressed palms against my eyes
I still see you on that drive
Your face bathed in amber light
As you slept silent beside
