Minding Manors lyrics

I miss a different you
I was dwindling like a candle in your handsome living room aloof
Wax bones rest on the fender she would stand and stare in the nude
I let my shadow loose
Fire flickered on her body bobbing like a horrid flute

Coughing my truths at the table like a respectable guest
White lies pepper the spreads
I’d sing a pillar into a minaret for them again
Winters in bed
Like I ever told her
Instead she was pecking at my colder folded shoulder
I rolled over

To somehow show her I know what’s what
Lucid dreams. f*cking you in my sleep
You were you but I wasn’t me at least it seemed
Baldwin grins in another country
Humming breeze in heat
Trees creak and bubble I freeze in my sheets
Cracked I lost it

But when you dropping looms? soon
Hollow coffin I fashioned it from my roots
I was polishing shoes, painting acres
Electricians mate
Waste removal crew member
Minding manors - too polite to you in truth
Time chew the bloom. hydrangeas in June
My limit grew. You gifted me your news like I wasn’t marooned
Blue cocoon. Violet sky I’d shoot at the moon
Hit village spittoons
Hidden pictures of you imbue
All the sh*t we didn’t do
I shivered in my sh*tty suit

I miss a different you
And that’s fine I promise
And that's fine I promise

I miss a different you
And that’s fine I promise
And that's fine I promise

Promise and I mean it
Cos I love you and I want you to succeed but I won’t see it
