You left your smiles,
just like photographs in my skull
I count them at night when I can't
find sleep, anywhere in the dark sky
You left your smiles,
just like photographs in my skull
You don't wear them anymore
I'm waiting for the day
that you ask for them back
I want you to have them
I don't want to keep them,
just to watch like a home movie
I don't want to keep them,
if I can't hold them,
if they're intangible
I used to trace them with my right pointer finger
And brand them with my lips
Now they're all locked away,
Packed up for an other day
Resting in the old wooden trunk
that collects dust in the back of my mind
I wait patiently here
Between the walls you used to rest in
I wait patiently here
Hoping you'll come to collect them
I miss the way they'd move across your face
Rise up and fall back down again
to the pace of your heart beat
I miss the way you'd move across my rib cage
Rise up and fall back down again
to the pace of your breathing
