lyrics
i've been hiding behind my eyes
i've been living inside my lies
tight around me like a second skin
oh, my brittle armor
i've been searching crowds for your smile
i've been a child
i've been a fool
i've been running from you
and you're not even there
you were never really there
i can't put you down
i can't wash the taste of your name from my mouth
i can barely remember myself
but you remain
you always remain
i was sure that you had disappeared
never to be seen again
but yesterday i heard your voice in my ear
it all came back to me then
the feel of your fingers wrapped around mine
the way you held my head when i'd had too much wine
our crazy new year's eve adventures
it all came back to me then
i can't put you down
i can't wash the taste of your name from my mouth
i can barely remember myself
but you remain
you always remain
when the desert air has dulled all of your senses
when the sun burns out and you're left to wander blindly
when you're bored with your suitors and all their good intentions
i'll be right here, love, you know how to find me
i can't put you down
i can't wash the taste of your name from my mouth
i can barely remember myself
but you remain
you always remain
i've been living inside my lies
tight around me like a second skin
oh, my brittle armor
i've been searching crowds for your smile
i've been a child
i've been a fool
i've been running from you
and you're not even there
you were never really there
i can't put you down
i can't wash the taste of your name from my mouth
i can barely remember myself
but you remain
you always remain
i was sure that you had disappeared
never to be seen again
but yesterday i heard your voice in my ear
it all came back to me then
the feel of your fingers wrapped around mine
the way you held my head when i'd had too much wine
our crazy new year's eve adventures
it all came back to me then
i can't put you down
i can't wash the taste of your name from my mouth
i can barely remember myself
but you remain
you always remain
when the desert air has dulled all of your senses
when the sun burns out and you're left to wander blindly
when you're bored with your suitors and all their good intentions
i'll be right here, love, you know how to find me
i can't put you down
i can't wash the taste of your name from my mouth
i can barely remember myself
but you remain
you always remain
