I kept the smoothest seashell
that you gave me on the shoreline.
And I keep it in my pocket,
and I think about you sometimes.
I don't need it,
but it's okay if you kiss me in the driveway.
I only brought it because
I thought you'd want it back.

But you decided to abandon,
need some time on your own.
So you ask the clocks for healing,
but their hands keep you alone.
Someone told you time repairs it.
I said
No, it just forgets it,
and I need you to remember who I am.

Quite a lot of love to give
for someone as cold as I am.
Quite a stupid thing we did
for someone as cold as I am.
Quite a lot of friends
for someone as cold as I am.
Quite a fucking mess we're in
for someone as cold as I am.

But when it's over
you should call me
because I'm awake and always will be.
I cannot eat,
I better not sleep until you're okay.
