Since You Came Songtext

"Today" is such a deceptive word For I spent all my days grieving loud I sang all my pain so distressingly Just to hush up any imploring shout I couldn't speak 'cause the words I knew Like rotten mushrooms dissolved You came out of that burring host of sounds Brought me back solid consonants and vowels And now my skin is so close-fitting Keeps the line with all the rest, since you came in I used to dispel among the things that people wanted me to do I thought we got too familiar To be lovers that cherish the flame All that we need is attention And I know I'll always give you the same 'Cause now my skin is so close-fitting Blending with reality, since you came in Nothing ever moved me like your patience While you taught me how to choose
