lyrics

Save all the clippings you'd like, baby, but it's too late.
No pile of papers'll bring me back wholly from this disease.
Maybe my white cell count just ain't what it used to be, baby,
But don't ever let that change how you'll remember me.
Remember me fully.
Life gets dark when the battery dies.
Where the bulbs once flashed on your skin hot white.
Where the shutter click of cameras that we used to keep our tempo,
Now it hits me heavy, and my cadence slows.
We knew with our whole heart that one day this'd happen.
You knew with your old heart that one day your lifeline'd flatten for good.
When the color leaves my lips, I'll see you that Fall in Lexington:
You came into the Chapel and I felt overflown.
The details'll fade away, I'm certain. I already feel it happening.
All the things I try to change, they're buried just a little bit further underneath the film grain.
