lyrics

I first heard you as an echo, a reflection.
We heard you as a heartbeat, a new lease, as a tense grip,
with the static in the background, in the back room.
I first touched you as a memory, a repetition.
We held you as a hot lung on a hot day,
with the static in the background, with the static as our last stand, back stop.

First touch, last kiss; first masks, the last past.
Pin it up, put her down.
You know they'll say all those things when you least wanna hear them.
First gasp, the last pass; the first last, the last task.
You got to dress it up and dress her down.
You know they tell you what you wanna hear when you don't wanna hear them.

I can be there; fill the forms too.
See me, the mirror.
I can taste it.
I can tell you (when my hands are my own, I can feel what I don't, I can feel what I won't do.)

First touch, first mask, the last kiss, the last past.
First breaths, first lapse, last task, the last gasp.
Dress her up, dress her down.
Pin it up, pin her down.
Dress it up, dress it down.
Pin her up, pin it down.

I first heard you as an echo.
We met you as your heartbeat.
I first touched you in a memory.
We held you as a hot lung breathing.
With the static in the background, with the static in the background.
