Muscle Memory

After having spent a fast year

Waitin' for the next time I can get you close

I grew used to to being back here

Like a chorus synth line 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

Noticin' a reflex taking over me

I see you and I reach

Muscle memory

Again off into the next fall

I am on the back steps tryin' to let you in

See you standin' in the front hall

Maybe this is madness underneath my skin

Guess love is a response 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

Noticin' a reflex taking over me

I see you and 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 drinkin' wine

And I see your glass sittin' 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

Noticin' a reflex taking over me

I see you and I reach

Muscle memory

I feel you endlessly
