Talk around your holiday
You know the details will always escape
But I tried to hang on every word
Something steady to remember
Stories to the scars
Only if I could recall where they were
"Don't hate yourself"
Makes sense if you're not always fucking up
Even when you're sitting still
Calling home making sure I've
Not been a disappointment
Pour out just another drink
Maybe forgetting tonight means rationing
What little's left of my memories
Promise I am listening
Talk around your holiday
You know the details will always escape
But I tried to hang on every word
Something steady to remember
Stories to the scars
Only if I could recall where they were
And I knew your eyes
Now they've closed
So with time
I'll forget that they were green
I let you beckon in the person that I am
In happiness I am incomplete
Remembering the fact you laid your own traps
Duality is that I've never broken any bones
Talk around your holiday
I know the details will always escape
But I tried to hang on every word
Something steady to remember
Stories to the scars
Only if I could recall
Only if I could recall where they were
