Rings

I draw a line in my life

Singin', this is the new way I behave now

And actually live by the shape of that sound

Circle in the back of my throat

Spinnin' in my head and on my pillow

Tellin' you things you don't need to know

Lettin' you know I trust you so much

Then, I'm lookin' at you through the lights

Circle blinkin' in the tungsten

Wonderin' how I seem to you

Forgettin' the words I'm singin' for you

Am I forgettin' how it felt?

You were sleepin' with your rings on (Rings on)

Cardinal wings in the early mornin'

Wakin' up to a metaphor formin'

Ah

Ah

I draw a line in my skin

I'm pinnin' down inchoate meanin'

Mark me right below the ampersand

Perforate line, dry summer on my own land

Then, it circulates around town

Do I double down because I'm stubborn?

The needle on the phonographic sound

You're diggin' it up as soon as it's drawn down

Am I forgettin' how it felt?

If you sing along, do I remember?

Mark this feelin' in the simplest shape

Let me finally let it fall away

Away
