You kissed me in the middle of the house of God
We fell asleep before I could turn the lights off
The next time I was clenching my fists
Hold a grudge for the chances I missed
The love you want me to describe
There's something I don't trust
Something I don't know from the inside
I'm standing back a mile away
You stay a faint idea of it
A faint old memory
Where you're trying to go
You don't need me
I still keep the pictures in the back of my head
I still have the same shirts, the same regrets
I used to think you didn't miss me much
I used to want you, now I'm happy for us
The love you want me to describe
There's something I don't trust
Something I don't know from the inside
I'm standing back a mile away
You stay a faint idea of it
A faint old memory
Where you're trying to go
You don't need me
It's a story that I tell myself sometimes
A picture of an alternate timeline
In cut off shorts and broken single speeds
Chart the hills of the city I'm climbing
You won't recognize me
The love you want me to describe
There's something I don't trust
Something I don't know from the inside
I'm standing back a mile away
You stay a faint idea of it
A faint old memory
Where you're trying to go
You don't need me
