Muscle Memory

(álbum: Little Machines - 2014)

After having spent the fast year
Waiting for the next time I can get you close
I grew used to being back here
Like a chorus and rhyme, soldier at his post

You call and I respond, the sparrow and the song
I miss you when you're gone

When I am alone, I see you in the dark
I talk into the empty like you were with me
Started on a cold night, felt you in the low light
Noticing a reflex taking over me
I see you when I reach
Muscle memory

Again, off into the next fall
I am on the back steps trying to let you in
See you standing in the front hall
Maybe this is madness underneath my skin

Guess love is the response of the body it haunts
And we do what it wants

When I am alone, I see you in the dark
I talk into the empty like you were with me
Started on a cold night, felt you in the low light
Noticing a reflex taking over me
I see you when I reach
Muscle memory
I feel you endlessly
Muscle memory

When you feel the chains of a thousand words
And I speak your name like I know you heard
I can feel you there, I can hear you move
And it moves me, too

And I'm playing games and I'm drinking wine
And I see your glass sitting next to mine
I can feel you there when you're not at home
Like I'm not alone

When I am alone, I see you in the dark
I talk into the empty like you were with me
Started on a cold night, felt you in the low light
Noticing a reflex taking over me
I see you when I reach
Muscle memory
I feel you endlessly
Muscle memory
