lyrics

I surrounded myself with color
Reupholstered the chairs in your room
Didn’t leave the house from the second day of April
Till the morning of the tenth of June

I read the news to keep up on the subplots
Listened carefully for incoming planes
If you’re not coming back, then we all must be leaving
Could be tomorrow, might be today

I surrounded myself with the data
It suggested that it might get better in the fall
You appeared to me in a dream I can’t remember
I’ve decided not to remember anything at all

I re-allocated hundreds of dollars
Towards furniture and posters that I put up on the wall
I didn’t sleep for two nights straight, started seeing you
In corners of the room
In the mirror
In the hall
