Muscle Memory

After having spent a fast year

Waiting for the next time I can get you close

I grew used to being back here

Like a chorus synth line 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 the reflex

Taking over me

I see you when I reach

Muscle memory

Again off into the next fall

I am on the back steps tryin' to let you in

See you standin' in the front hall

Maybe this is madness underneath my skin

Guess the misery spawns

Or 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 the reflex

Taking over me

I see you when I reach

Muscle memory

I feel you when I sleep

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

When I'm playin' games

When I'm drinkin' wine

And I see your glass

Sittin' 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 the reflex

Taking over me

I see you when I reach

Muscle memory

I feel you when I sleep
