lyrics

The smell of nickel on your hands from holding keys the whole way home
The past casts a long shadow but a shadow never keeps you warm
Cartoon faces on silverware, folding paper in your hands
I'll lose everything you've ever given me like the heat from a wedding band

If I knew, I could wait forever
Under memory & stone
Will you bury me like a treasure
Undiscovered & unknown

The taste of rose mint on your lips we roam like nomads all night long
Desire is a dark phantom that follows but it never takes its form
A thunder quakes across your heart, the first lightning of the spring
If we ever kissed in a dream I don't know what those kisses mean

If I knew, I could wait forever
Under memory & stone
Will you bury me like a treasure
Undiscovered & unknown
If I was sure, I would wait forever
Under mystery & bones
Will you search for me like a treasure
Undiscovered & alone
