Kissing The Lipless

The Shins

Called to see if your back was still alligned

and your sheets were growing grass out of 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 grey remains of a friendship scarred.



You told us of your new life there

you got someone coming 'round

Gluing tinsel to your crown

He's got you talking pretty loud.



Berate remember your ailing heart and your criminal eyes

You say you're still in love

and its true what can be done

it's hard to leave all these moments behind.



Called to see if your back is still alligned and your sheets are growing grass out of the corners of your bed.



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

it's too much to do with me

and secretly I want to bury in the yard

The grey remains of a friendship scarred.



You tested your medal of doe's skin and petals

kissing the lipless and bleed all the sweetness away.
