Jacarandas

I hang my heart on the line
In the early afternoon
I try to wring it dry
But it still remembers you

I tell my friends I'm fine
And I tell that to you too
My ma says I've lost my spine

All of my body aches for your body
Still I tell nobody what I know
All of the reasons I stayed quiet
I no longer believe them
These are the few things that I know

In spring, the jacarandas bloom
And hailstorms make me think of you
It's all a little quieter when you leave

I paint my heart on the fence
And I wait and watch it dry
I sit and try to brush away
The thought you're still not satisfied

Your morning kiss over coffee
Started feeling like goodbye
I saw the jacarandas die

All of my body aches for your body
Still I tell nobody what I know
All of the reasons I stayed quiet
I no longer believe them
These are the few things that I know

If early skies are stained with red
The fishermen will stay in bed
I hope the hail makes you think of me

Nothing makes me miss you more
Than peach-grey clouds and all your flaws
The colours all feel tireder when you leave

When you leave
I wake later in the day
When you leave
My nights burn out in the tray
When you leave me
I run out of things to say

When you leave
When you leave
When you leave
Oh, when you leave me
