I Felt Your Shape Songtext
von the Microphones

I thought I felt your shape but I was wrong
Really, all I felt was falsely strong
I held on tight and closed my eyes
It was dumb, I had no sense of your size

It was dumb to hold so tight
But last night, on your birthday in the kitchen
My grip was loose, my eyes were open


I felt your shape and heard you breathing
I felt the rise and fall of your chest
I felt your fall, your winter snows
Your gusty blow, your lava flow
I felt it all, your starry night, your lack of light
With limp arms, I can feel most of you

I hung around your neck independently
And my loss was overwhelmed
By this new depth, I don′t think I ever felt
But I don't know, the nights are cold
And I remember warmth
I could have sworn I wasn′t alone
