Something To Do With My Hands Lyrics

You know it kills me to see such a pretty girl so tired
Youve got your mothers cheekbones and your fathers crooked smile
Forget all those places that youve never really been
And all those situations you somehow found yourself in
Let your body sink into me
Like your favorite memory
Like a line of poetry
Or a fucking fit of honesty
Ill do my best to keep you
Keep you sleepy as the south
With my old watch on your wrist
And my thumbs inside your mouth
Suck on my fingertips until you kill all my prints
So your boyfriend has no clue
Of how much Ive been touching you

My problem with me is my problem with you
It doesnt take much
For me to come unglued
I put my headphones on
And hear your favorite songs
And it kills me to know
That this wont be one of them

You know it saves me to think even for a little while
I owned the set of shoulders that you came to rely on
Like in that movie theater when you whispered in my ear
I almost didnt make it
This has been my hardest year
Your job is killing you faster than a cancer could
So now youre giving up like they always said you would
Youve got that old map out now and you found the farthest town
You hope that if youre lucky this is where youll settle down

I dont care where you move
I dont care if its far
All that I ask is that I know where you are
In case our timing is right
In case you need more from me
Than a bit of advice
Or a tongue full of sympathy
