Lower Case Lyrics

I sleep inside the moment that we stood upon a frozen lake

When we were still in love and only spoke in lower case

I live with memories of waking to your shoulder blades

That overstay their welcome and they very seldom go away

Somewhere inside your body is a photograph of us

Whoever framed the subject wasn't holding back enough

Cause every blemish that we buried was in bloom again

When they decided that they'd try to magnify it through a lens

We picked names for the garden in between your hips

That harbored every dream that drifted far enough to seem amiss

She exists when I shut my eyes for long enough

Her tiny fingers cling to mine but when I blink they've gone to dust

I don't suppose that you remember back before the war

When I could call the bluff that hid behind your poker face

And even though you've ever only called me "baby" once

I heard a ghost that spoke the words you'd never say in lower case

"Darling don't forget that I'll be leaving in the morning

But, baby don't you worry, cause I'm coming back home"
