"Want/need/feel/blah" But our bodies makes noises when we are not around Are mistranslated        misunderstood        misused        mistreated Crack of the arctic knuckles crack -The whip on the horse to make it go faster -The egg on the bowl to keep your hands clean -The dawn that splices through skinny windows crack Blue I have noticed our Shadows How they snap on the sidewalk Like high-heeled claps and click Went my back when I stretched And I remember when this first started And I asked if I could lean on your shoulder sweet spot And I did for a while And resting next to your throat was noisy And we don't do that anymore And I don't do that anymore And There you go, that familiar sound (that same old sigh, that ticklish taunt, that numb noise - croaky crack) You would think "Anymore" Is a blah word Because that is what my feet said Blue You are not around anymore Our bodies aren't on speaking terms.

Just Noise
"Want/need/feel/blah" But our bodies makes noises when we are not around Are mistranslated        misunderstood        misused        mistreated Crack of the arctic knuckles crack -The whip on the horse to make it go faster -The egg on the bowl to keep your hands clean -The dawn that splices through skinny windows crack Blue I have noticed our Shadows How they snap on the sidewalk Like high-heeled claps and click Went my back when I stretched And I remember when this first started And I asked if I could lean on your shoulder sweet spot And I did for a while And resting next to your throat was noisy And we don't do that anymore And I don't do that anymore And There you go, that familiar sound (that same old sigh, that ticklish taunt, that numb noise - croaky crack) You would think "Anymore" Is a blah word Because that is what my feet said Blue You are not around anymore Our bodies aren't on speaking terms.
