Muscle Memory
LIGHTS · Little Machines 2014 · Track 06 of 14
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
