Birthmark

(Album: Topograph - 2016)

Tracing your birthmark with my fingers
I'll never forget the shape
On your birthday I'll try and hide it
But my eyes will give me away
And I wonder if inside
I'll commit this all to memory
Because I paint you in my mind
Even after all you told me

When your name doesn't hurt to say
And I think about you less each passing day
When I can't feel your weight
Will I miss the way it feels to miss you?
Missing you, missing you, oh oh
Oh, Missing you, missing you, oh

Holding the pulse within my hands
I'll never let it go
But after long my will is weakened
And I might lose control
And I wonder if in time
You would care if I forgot you
Because I paint you every night
It's a hell that I put myself through

When your name doesn't hurt to say
And I think about you less each passing day
When I can't feel your weight
Will I miss the way it feels to miss you?
Missing you, missing you, oh oh
Missing you, missing you

I trace your birthmark
It's the first thing I'd misplace
This crowded head of mine
It's only a matter of time
I trace your birthmark
So there's somewhere you can stay
Your skin so vivid, so I think that I'll be fine

When your name doesn't hurt to say
And I think about you less each passing day
When I can't feel your weight
Will I miss the way it feels to miss you?
Missing you, missing you, oh oh
Missing you, missing you, oh
