lyrics

it's two o'clock this afternoon
and i'm already tired
and every movement of the wrist that's writing
feels so uninspired and i get
tangled up in your old words
the ones i couldn't spell
and i'm dwelling on my typos
i still can't forgive myself

cuz you whispered your departure
like a dirty, dirty rumor and if
cupid is a tattoo artist with a sense of humor then
i be the sailor hanging over
waking up alone
with your name burned into my skin
an aching in my bones

and it's over
you're gone again
and the notes of all our love songs
are still written on my hands
I can't
it's over
you're gone again
and every thought comes back to you
it's written on my hands i can't
move on

we move to brand new places
we dream we can write new name
with think that no one here will know us
we think everything can change
but our bags are stiched with memories
and packed with clothes and tragedies
we try to rewrite histories
but everything's the same

and you just like every artist
you can't love what you create
and what's new is always better
and what's old you learn to hate
but you're written on my body and
you're written on my soul
and the way you moved and knew me
no one else will ever know

but it's over
you're gone again
and the notes of all our love songs
are still written on my hands
I can't
it's over
you're gone again
and every thought comes back to you
it's written on my hands i can't
move on

it's written on my hands i can't
move on
it's written on my hands i can't
move on
