Andria Lyrics - Singles - La Dispute

You still cross my mind from time to time. And I mostly smile. 

Still so set on finding out where we went wrong and why 

So I retrace our every step with an unsure pen 

trying to figure out what my head thinks 

but my head just ain't what it used to be. 

And then again, what's the point anyway? 

I remember you ascending all the stairs up to the balcony 

to see if you could see me - hidden quietly away 

And I remember the skin of your fingers 

The spot three quarters up I'd always touch when I was out of things to say. 

You held my hand, but you were too afraid to speak, you were too afraid to speak and I could never understand. 

I remember when you leaned in quick to kiss me, and I swear 

that not a single force on earth could stop the trembling of my hand 

And I remember how you smiled through the smoke 

in a crowded little coffeehouse and laughed at all my jokes. 

And I remember the way that you dressed and 

how we wasted all the best of us in alcohol and sweat 

And I remember when I knew that you'd be leaving, how I barely kept up breathing 

and I bet if I had to do it all again, I'd feel the same pain 

And I remember panicked circles in the terminal in tears. 

How I wept to god in fits. I've hated airports ever since. 

It must be true what people say, that only time can heal the pain. 

And every single day I feel it fade away, but - 

I still remember how the distance tricked us 

and lead us helpless by the wrist into a pit to be devoured. 

I still remember how we held so strong to this 

though we had never really settled on a way out. 

I still remember the silence, and how we'd always find a way 

to turn and run to our mistakes. 

I still remember how it all came back together just to fall apart again. 

My dear, I hear your voice in mine. 

I've been alone here 

I've been alone here 

I've been afraid, my dear 

I've been afraid, my dear 

I've been at home here 

I've been at home here 

You've been away for years 

You've been away for years 

I've been alone 

I've been alone 

I've been alone 

I've been alone 

I breathed your name into the air; I etched your name into me. 

I felt my anger swelling; I swam into its sea. 

I held your name inside my heart, but it got buried in my fear. 

It tore the wiring of my brain; I did my best to keep it clear. 

So, dear, no matter how we part, I hold you sweetly in my head. 

And if I do not miss a part of you, a part of me is dead. 

If I can't love you as a lover, I will love you as a friend. 

And I will lay a bed before you; keep you safe until the end.
