The First Anniversary of Your Last Phone Call Lyrics

the luminous arch of a lover's shoulder
backlit by the moon
the sudden shock of too loud laughter
like a forgotten favorite tune
if i dont ever think about these things again
oh it would be too soon
a knowing ache of clawmarks on your back
and no one can recall
the hours spent out on your front porch
doing nothing, nothing, nothing at all, yeah

if i can somehow lose all memory of these things
oh i wouldn't mind at all, at all, at all
'cause it's the first anniversary of your last phonecall
i can never think about these things again

the pressure of b****** against the rib cage
as we huddled against the cold
the smell of your sheets
as we drifted off to sleep
burying down the folds, yeah
if i had just one wish, oh, i know what it would be
i would be left alone, alone, alone
'cause it's the first anniversary of your last phonecall
and sometimes i really amaze myself, yeah yeah
well it's the first anniversary of your last phonecall
i'll never think about these things again
it's not the way it's supposed to be
i can't think about these things forever
so i go back, back into my bed,
i get out, move on, i close my eyes
and drift away and just stay, yeah

well it's the first anniversary
of your last phonecall
i can never think about these things again
well it's the first anniversary
of your last phonecall
i can never think about these things again
