Shins, The - Kissing The Lipless Lyrics

Complimentary "Kissing The Lipless" Ringtone

Called to see 
If your back 
Was still aligned 
And your sheets 
Were growing grass 
All on the corners of your bed. 

But you've got too much to wear 
On your sleeves. 
It has too much to do with me. 
And secretly, 
I want to bury in the yard 
The grey remains of a friendship scarred. 

You told us of your new life, where 
You've got someone coming round, 
Gluing tinsel to your crown; 
He's got you talking pretty loud. 

Berate, remember 
Your ailing heart and your criminal eyes 
You say you're still in love; 
If it's true, what can be done? 
It's hard to leave all these moments behind. 

Called to see 
If your back 
Was still aligned 
And your sheets 
Are growing grass 
All on the corners of your bed. 

But you've got too much to wear 
On your sleeves. 
It's too much to do with me. 
And secretly, 
I want to bury in the yard 
The grey remains of a friendship scarred. 

You tested your mettle 
With doe skin and petals, 
While kissing the lipless 
To bleed all the sweetness away.
