You're
still in my sheets and on my teeth
and
it's not because you stay, I know
it's
because I keep you here
and
I keep you there
You're
next to me in the back,
swaying
to a song because I know all the words
and
I like to sing them back to the band even if they don't see me
even
though they've seen the lyrics in a million mouths
you're
not really here though, I know
You're
this song playing right now, this new one
I
can hear it right now and by the end I know the words
I
know, I can't keep this one though
this
song is just for right now -
in
this dim music box between buildings
it
means the world for three minutes
You’re
a song I can’t have and I remember it so well that
I
feel like it’s mine sometimes but I know, it’s not
it
was for a few minutes in a soft swelling crowd
this
song was all mine, you were the world for three minutes
for
one soft swelling season between seasons
and
it’s done and I’m forgetting parts
because I know I can't I keep you, here
