Darling, You Are Still Around

Despite the time and many months
Of the cursed and calloused gaps we've wrapped around us
And our shifting shores of shameless shams and should-have-been's
I always seem to see
The outline of your dreams on the edge of mine
Which puts me on the edge of my seat

And I'll curse the day I ever met you
Faces have been lost a time in my mind and drowned in wine
But darling, you are still around

It may well be the naked night
That gnaws away the necessity of skin
That thing that masks the moon
And makes it so it's bare and bright within
But darling, you are running through my head
And these footprints you're leaving are where my memories tread

So I walk softly 'round the old familiars
Lovers have been lost a time in my mind and I don't know why
But darling, you are still around

I know our page was in part brief
But please forgive my grievances, you see
It's not that I need you now
You were simply the best brief I have known
And I think that it shows
In the way you linger on within my songs and I still laugh

At the way you live with your drug habits
Many have been lost a time in my mind but I think you'll find
That, darling, you are still around

Darling, you are still around
