Shins
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I was just bony hands as cold as a winter pole
2
You held a warm stone out new flowing blood to hold
3
Oh what a contrast you were
4
To the brutes in the halls
5
My timid young fingers held a decent animal.
6
Over the ramparts you tossed
7
The scent of your skin and some foreign flowers
8
Tied to a brick
9
Sweet as a song
10
The years have been short but the days were long.
11
Cool of a temperate breeze from dark skies to wet grass
12
We fell in a field it seems now a thousand summers passed
13
When our kite lines first crossed
14
We tied them into knots
15
And to finally fly apart
16
We had to cut them off.
17
Since then it's been a book you read in reverse
18
So you understand less as the pages turn
19
Or a movie so crass
20
And awkardly cast
21
That even I could be the star.
22
I don't look back as much as a rule
23
And all this way before murder was cool
24
But your memory is here and I'd like it to stay
25
Warm light on a winter day.
26
Over the ramparts you tossed
27
The scent of your skin and some foreign flowers
28
Tied to a brick
29
Sweet as a song
30
The years have been short but the days go slowly by
31
Two loose kites falling from the sky
32
Drawn to the ground and an end to flight.
