Her Tongue Was Tattooed On The Back Of Her Teeth
Old Gray Lyrics

And every moment I lose without you, fighting interference between my mind and the tip of my tongue, I am lost.
When I'm away from you, I struggle to articulate my thoughts and become overwhelmed by my emotions.

Tripping over my words, over insanity, racking my every thought, drowning this conviction behind an apathetic mask.
I become so consumed by my feelings that I can't express myself clearly, leading me into states of confusion and depression.

A numberless cigarette lit twixt my fingers, burning like the fire that beauty held in your eyes, piercing me like a conscience, shattering the glass of memory reflecting my imperfections, smoldering bridges sinking behind me in hopes for a second chance.
I smoke endlessly, hoping to bring back memories of you and the way you looked at me. But it only makes me feel guilty and sad about things I did wrong and burned bridges with you, desperately wishing for another shot at love.

So embrace me, dreams, for you are mine; awake to a whirlwind staying swift through my fingers, my dream of you was all I had.
My dreams are the only place where I can feel close to you. But when I wake up, that feeling slips away, leaving me feeling like I'm grasping at something that's just out of reach.

So give me a heart where I can't feel, for all I need in my life is that which eludes me, that which I let get away, remaining a haunting thought of what could have been.
I wish I could stop feeling the pain of missing you and forget about what could have been between us, but I can't help but constantly think of you and what we've lost.

Can you feel my beating heart? Buried beneath the backyard- the place we used to live, where we stood on our own. We were rooted in this home. Where we exhaled our last breath and watched the summer fade to blackness.
Our memories are buried deep within me, like a beating heart buried in the backyard of our old house. It's where we made a life together, where we were happy and felt safe, and where we said goodbye.

We held our hands tight and spoke softly of the distance, as to which our hearts were to lie. And the night kissed us softly on the cheek and we each, the trees bowed before our knees as to exact the point of growing fond of the memories we would never let die.
As we faced the inevitable distance between us, we reminded ourselves of the depth of our love for each other. The darkness of the night enveloped us, and we felt connected to the trees that surrounded us, as we cherished our memories and promised never to forget.

I will let you go if you want me to.
Even though it hurts me deeply, I will respect your wishes if you no longer want to be with me.
