If you see him
Tell him I've moved on
Tell him that the tambourine in my chest plays a new beat
But if I were to see him, yes, he'd still shake me
If you see him
Tell him I've reached new heights
Tell him that the snow on the mountains is nothing more than eraser shavings
From the memories I've had wiped from my mind
There's little of him I'll remember
If you see him
Tell him I've learned to swim
Tell him he can find me where the currents start
Where the water won't be salted any more
Because the oceans of my eyes will be salted enough
If you see him
Tell him that night was his fault
Tell him that the moon is his fault
But it's the only memory I've kept of him
I'll be out walking the highway
And I know he doesn't drive this way
But if I see him
I'll tell him
That the tambourine in my chest still shakes to his beat
And the oceans in my eyes are ready for him to weep
I'll tell him
That his name is carved across the surface of my heart
So that my pulse will always kiss him
That the tin soldiers in my toes
Were and still are the only thing driving me forward
If I see him
I'll tell him
He's an ***
But I wouldn't have it any other way
