about

A slow burning meloncholy track about short lived passion that escalates and explodes into painful and confusing yearning.

lyrics

I found her like the leaves abandoned by their mothers and
Swaying in the breeze and landing in the gutters
We took bottles of red to the hills that view the city and
Emptied out our heads of heartache and misery

An unsolicited obsession no merit to such infatuation
When did my fingerprints become sandpaper to her skin

Woke up in burning sun shattered by the pine trees
Invading my sore eyes and glaring off debris
She could well have been a ghost if not for leaving
Her taste upon my lips and sandles by the swings

An Unsolicited obsession no merit to such infatuation
When did my fingerprints become sandpaper to her skin

I've probably done much worse and she's probably done much better
But when you have a thirst the water tastes much sweeter
I'm drawn to her again like a star above the manger but
She jolted like a gun when I tried to touch her

An Unsolicited obsession no merit to such infatuation
Leaving me to question my faith in constelations
Unsolicited obsession just a figment of my imagination
When did my fingerprints become sandpaper to her skin

I found her like the leaves abandoned by their mothers and
Swaying in the breeze and landing in the gutters
