lyrics

I lick the icicles
Hanging from your window sill
I'm curled in your cupboard,
Rattling your sleeping pills
In your living room at night
I find what you hide beneath the couch
I'm waiting on you, lover,
I've got all the time in the world

I'm in your pictures
Hanging down your yellow hall
I'm quiet in your kitchen
Listening to your phone calls with your mom
In your dirty sheets at night
I touch your hair, I touch your mouth
I'm waiting on you, lover,
I've got all the time in the world

And I don't know why I like you so very much
You look a little like a girl I took to Coney Island once
But that was years ago
She died in '25, or no-
I died in '25
When you weren't even yet alive
And now you're so, so alive

I lick the icicles
Hanging from your window sill
And in the spring, when they melt,
Do you think you or I will be here?
