I know that someday you'll be sleeping, darling
Likely dreaming off the pain
I hope you'll hear me in the streetlight's humming
Softly breathing out your name
I know that even with the seams stitched tightly
Darling, scars will remain
I say we scrape them from eachother, darling
And let them wash off in the rain
And when they run into the river
Oh no, let the water not complain
I swear that even with the distance slowly wearing out your name
Your hands still catch the light the right way
And our hearts still beat the same
And our hearts still beat the same

    General Comment:For me this song is closure. Closure to the album and the storys within it and closure for me myself and events in my life.

    I know that someday you'll be sleeping, darling
    Likely dreaming off the pain


    I know that even with the seams stitched tightly
    Darling, scars will remain


    Although the scars will always be there, someday you will be a peace and rest again.

    General Comment:"nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands"
    from an ee cumming poem

    but I adore this song. And it's a continuation of Such Small Hands which makes me think that he was drinking in Such Small Hands and then came to her house to tell her this.

    Memory:"i swear that even with the distance slowly wearing out your name, your hands still catch the light the right way, and our hearts still beat the same."
    this reminds me so much of my last (very serious) relationship--one i can't get over, and probably never will completely. the distance ripped us apart, and we haven't seen each other in over 2 years, but i can still feel him in me, and if i let myself, i can still see him in everything and in everywhere i go. :(
