Light bends through your window
hovers across the room to the wall
Covers you with distant motions
Oh, how that makes you beautiful
I will stay as ugly as
I always was in class photos
I liked the way you came to
for a second, then swam back to sleep
I watched carefully the expressions
which tell that you are you
I have exactly two faces
I'm now wearing the other one
When I know all your bad days by heart
you can ask nights in
When I know all you nightmares by heart
you can come up with some more
I remember every inch of you
but not our anniversaries
For some reason it's not the numbers
that stick in mind, but images like this
Light fastens on the bedspread
I build a cover for you with my arms
When I know all your bad days by heart
you can ask nights in
When I know all you nightmares by heart
you can come up with some more
I will learn thoroughly
your aspirations and history
When I know all your bad days by heart
you can ask nights in
When I know all you nightmares by heart
you can come up with some more
