clothespins

I'm pinching everything with clothespins
I won't forget the pain of seeing you forget
We spend our whole lives building something
But it always comes to this

Plastic straws and styrofoam cups
A voice in my head saying just give up
Well, just give up
Because you were wholesome and sweet
While I am dirty and cheap
You were everything that I wish that I could be
I wish that I could be

So talk to me with violins
And bottle up all of your deepest regrets
The clouds in our heads are crushing
It makes it harder to exist

Plastic straws and styrofoam cups
A voice in my head saying just give up
Well, just give up
Because you were wholesome and sweet
While I am dirty and cheap
You were everything that I wish that I could be
I wish that I could

It was grace that taught my heart to fear
The way that everything is more fragile than it appears
The very fabric of our memories that can fade in a year
I will always hold you so near and dear to my heart
Before you left me you wrote you'd always visit
That we'd be close enough to speak and listen
You were a cardinal in the snow
You were bright in a world of sorrow
You were a cardinal in the snow
You were bright in a world of sorrow

So you can show me love and set me free
You were everything when I needed you to be
I needed you I needed you I needed you
You can show me love and set me free
You were everything when I needed you to be
I needed you I needed you I needed you
You can show me love and set me free
You were everything when I needed you to be
I needed you I needed you I needed you
You can show me love and set me free
You were everything when I needed you to be
I needed you I needed you I needed you, oh
