lyrics

I wrote you a letter it took me five days to read it with minimal anguish
The origin of my frustration lay in the inadequacy of the language
I wrote a long list of the main points to cover and made sure the meaning was candid
But after a second revision I realised the words of all substance were famished

This week I’m dragging my feet to a rhythm that’s clumsy and incomplete
My memory’s with you in the morning
Shooting sharpened arrows without warning

I buttoned my shirt up and I tightened my tie and I crawled my way out the door
It was a curious feeling to go through the motions without any purpose at all
I wrote a short message from desperation to see your feet on the floor
The speed of the separation left me confused and wanting more

You spent a long time gripping the rails

This week I’m dragging my feet to a rhythm that’s clumsy and incomplete
My memory’s with you in the morning
Shooting sharpened arrows without warning
This year new hopes and new fears bring about a sense of the obsolete
In a long-winded way it’s a holiday
I’m huffing and puffing and waiting and stalling

You spent a long time slipping away

Through shifting weather and frequent acquaintance we keep from spinning round
But I fear the strings I hold will render you in my lost and found
We had a good time and we’ll have it again but who knows for how long
So when you get home don’t forget to write me a song

I wrote you a letter it took me a week to delete it and start anew
Careless and unbound I’m coming round
I’m coming round

This week I’m dragging my feet to a rhythm that’s clumsy and incomplete
My memory’s with you in the morning
Shooting sharpened arrows without warning
This time it all will be fine if our heads are screwed on and our tongues are on fire
I’ll find you in text enraptured and maybe we’ll open the covers and move a little faster

Maybe we’ll open the covers and move a little faster

This week I’m dragging my feet to a rhythm that’s clumsy and incomplete
My memory’s with you in the morning
Shooting sharpened arrows without warning
