Phil Elverum - I Felt Your Shape lyrics

I thought I felt your shape but I was wrong Really all I felt was falsely strong I held on tight and closed my eyes It was dumb I had no sense of your size It was dumb to hold so tight But last night, on the birthday in the kitchen My grip was loose, my eyes were open I felt your shape and heard you breathing I felt the rise and fall of your chest I felt your fall, your winter snows Your gusty blow, your lava flow, I felt it all Your starry night, your lack of light With limp arms I can feel most of you I hung around your neck independently And my loss was overwhelmed By this new depth I don't think I ever felt But I don't know, the nights are cold And I remember warmth I could have sworn I wasn't alone
