"Story of Your Bones"
Its been two long months Since I took a good look in the mirror And in that time I find these lines on my face Have gotten clearer And its time I reintroduced myself to the world Show them What I'm All about Even if its just so They can chew me up And then turn their heads And spit me out
And oooooh
These bones in my face are from my mother And these lips I use are from my father Nose that rests above this From another Man somewhere who didn't bother
But I wonder What would he say If he knew I got up here And rambled on this way Would he then be proud And make it known That he was part of me And I was one of his own
And ooooh
Its been five long weeks Since I've been able to kiss your face That always makes me question If this bullshit is worth it In the first place
'Cauz I have to know The story of your bones And I long to rove The map of your skin And I'm tired of us both feelin' loved yet alone I want feel where you've hurt I want to taste where you've been
But what will they say Will they still come and hear me When they know I love you this way
As I read you with my mouth And my fingertips Like berries, you color my hands Like a wine, you stain my lips
And oooh
Its been two long months Since I took a good look In the mirror ...
