Lyrics for 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 and rhyme, 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 a reflex taking over me I see you when I reach Muscle memory Again off into the next fall I am on the back steps trying to let you in See you standing in the front hall Maybe this is madness underneath my skin Guess love is a responce of 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 endlessly Muscle memory When I 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 playing games and I'm drinking wine And I see your glass sitting 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 a reflex taking over me I see you when I reach Muscle memory
