Souvenirs

Lyrics

When you bit me you should have bitten harder
So it left a little mark of your teeth on my flesh
What I have to remember ever after
Reminders of your laughter, of shining livery

To get tangled in your stare
Run my fingers through your hair
To get wrapped around your finger
That you'd drawn through mine
Was foolish but it felt so fine

What is left is some paper scraps with pictures
A raincoat yellow shirt and this sting in my chest
Curly hairs that I've lost they're on your blanket
That salt from tears that I shed when you were fast asleep

Even this will not remain
Time will wash it down the drain
To get wrapped around your finger
Yet lost in your eyes
Was foolish but it felt so nice

Now that souvenirs I kept
Can't disguise that it's inapt
To get wrapped around your finger
As you took my hand
Was foolish but it felt so grand

Was that I you were looking for?
Was I a lover or your whore?
Got me wrapped around your finger
You disarm me here
So would you keep some part of me? (x2)
