Dripping Love

Letra

[Verse 1] I miss that kind of misery The kind that knew my name You were gentle in the evening Then morning changed your face So I ask the ceiling softly Was I dreaming when you stayed? Or did I build a little shelter From the warmth you never gave? [Pre-Chorus] I kept your silence in my pockets Like a letter I could save Every promise turned to water Every answer slipped away [Chorus] I love you so much it is dripping Dripping down both of my arms I held you close until I vanished Trying to keep you from harm I am sorry, I know I am too much I arrive with my heart in my hands But I wanted one thing I could trust Not a love that would leave when it can [Verse 2] I learned to read the changing weather In the corners of your mouth Counted all the careful seconds Before you wanted out There was kindness after sunset There was distance with the dawn I kept calling it devotion When it was only hanging on [Pre-Chorus] Now your name is on the coffee cup I cannot bring myself to wash Some small part of me still listens For the footsteps that are gone [Chorus] I love you so much it is dripping Dripping down both of my arms I held you close until I vanished Trying to keep you from harm I am sorry, I know I am too much I arrive with my heart in my hands But I wanted one thing I could trust Not a love that would leave when it can [Bridge] If I was dreaming, let me wake up slowly Let the room stay dark awhile I gave you every honest version Even the ones without a smile I am not asking you to save me I am asking what was real Was I loved beneath the evening? Was there anything to feel? [Final Chorus] I loved you so much it was dripping Dripping down both of my arms I held you close until I vanished Trying to keep you from harm I am sorry, I know I was too much I was scared love would not withstand Now I am learning how to trust Something that can stay when it can [Outro] I miss that kind of misery But I miss myself more I leave the evening at your doorstep And do not ask what for
