Her Space Holiday Something To Do With My Hands Lyrics

Something To Do With My Hands Lyrics

You know it kills me to see such a pretty girl so tired

You've got your
mother's cheekbones and your father's crooked smile

Forget all those
places that you've never really been

And all those situations you somehow
found yourself in

Let your body sink into me

Like your favorite
memory

Like a line of poetry

Or a fucking fit of honesty

I'll
do my best to keep you, keep you sleepy as the south

With my old watch on
your wrist

And my thumbs inside your mouth

Suck on my fingertips
until you kill all my prints

So your boyfriend has no clue

Of how
much I've been touching you



My problem with me is my problem with
you

It doesn't take much

For me to come unglued

I put my
headphones on

And hear your favorite songs

And it kills me to
know

That this won't be one of them



You know it saves me to
think even for a little while

I owned the set of shoulders that you came
to rely on

Like in that movie theater when you whispered in my ear

I almost didn't make it

This has been my hardest year

Your job
is killing you faster than a cancer could

So now you're giving up like
they always said you would

You've got that old map out now and you found
the farthest town

You hope that if you're lucky this is where you'll
settle down



I don't care where you move I don't care if it's
far

All that I ask is that I know where you are 

In case our timing
is right

In case you need more from me

Than a bit of advice

Or
a tongue full of sympathy
