Residue Lyrics

When we're alone

My mind goes where it shouldn't and

Minute hand replaces the second

And I do what any other person can

But now that you're gone

My jaded mind can wander through

A sacred place I kept for you

And on me from head to toe your residue

Trace me gentle

Put me right up in your bathroom drawer

Left here alone

I am the blemish on a spotless floor

Your furnace glows

In a chasm where a river runs dry

Along the back roads of a neighborhood

In a town with no sky

When I get you alone

It's always only for a second and

There's always talk of another man

And I bear about as much as any other person I can

Did I force your hand

Maybe I turned up the heat

In that case I just appreciate

That you've kept it so discreet

But we both know

What frost says about fire

And in a field of snow there's a blinding glow

And the flames will only grow higher

When we were alone

My mind went where it shouldn't have

Minute hand replaced the second

And I did what any other person can

And now that you're gone

My faded mind just wanders through

A sacred place I kept for you

And quietly I thank you for your residue
