lyrics

Whenever you run away,
it’s always too fast to catch you.
So now you’re just a memory
etched in too deep, I can’t erase you.
And that’s where I hide away,
‘cause here I’d only replace you
as if you were prosthetic,
and I could only reattach you.
But I’m not that prophetic,
my answer would be only to ask you.
And I wish I could find a way,
‘cause here I can’t even face you…

There’s never an easy way to forget
those times that we shared.
I’m left alone to feel happy for you and
I’ve never felt so scared…

Even when I’m alone you’re with me.
The thought of you’s an epiphany…
It’s like touching windows I can’t see…
This message is a ship lost at sea,
and there’s no chance of it returning—
I’m touching windows which I can’t see…

There’s never an easy way to forget
those times that we shared.
I’m left alone to feel happy for you and
I’ve never felt so scared…

I’m fading into transparency—
pay no attention bump into me…
It’s like touching windows you can’t see.
You’re the bird, this house is my body.
Your wings span in an emergency.
Your sharp beak’s kiss performs surgery
while touching windows you can’t see…

Now we’re both touching windows
we can’t see…
