Breadcrumbs

The freckles on your back
Hide the only road map
That I'll ever really
Need to memorise

Will I find my way back
If I learn the route by heart?
If I leave a couple breadcrumbs tracing
My way back to the start?

Empty dresser, empty drawers
Is this t-shirt mine or yours?
I'm afraid to leap
Boxes scattered on the floor
I know I could never store
What I want to keep

Checked in but so strung out
We knew this day was coming
But no amount of warnings could help me
Carry all these doubts

Empty dresser, empty drawers
Is this story mine or yours?
I'm afraid to leap
Boxes scattered on the floor
I know I could never store
What I want to keep

Will you drink coffee when it's late?
Will you still watch foreign movies
when I'm not there to translate?
Will you read the books I left?
Hum my favourite song?
Will you keep on leaving breadcrumbs
as you walk along?

Suitcase waiting by the door
I'll be back, what's mine is yours
Hurts so much to leap

Boxes scattered on the floor
Holding on just one night more
To what I want to keep

Will you drink coffee when it's late?
Will you still watch foreign movies
when I'm not there to translate?
Will you read the books I left?
Hum my favourite song?
Will you keep on leaving breadcrumbs
as you walk along?
