The Shins Kissing the Lipless song lyrics

Called to see

If your back was still aligned

And your sheets

Were growing grass all on the corners of your bed

But you've got too much to wear on your sleeves

That has too much to do with me

And secretly, I want to bury in the yard

The gray remains of a friendship scarred

You told us of your new life there

You've got someone coming round

Gluing tinsel to your crown

He's got you talking pretty loud

You berate, remember your ailing heart and your criminal eyes

You say you're still in love

If it's true, what can be done?

It's hard to leave all these moments behind

Called to see

If your back was still aligned

And your sheets

Were growing grass all on the corners of your bed

But you've got too much to wear on your sleeves

That has too much to do with me

And secretly, I want to bury in the yard

The gray remains of a friendship scarred

You tested your mettle

On doe skin and petals

While kissing the lipless

Who bleed all the sweetness away
