Mittens |
Wandering lonely through the snow streets of New York |
I stumbled on a thrift store that sold postcards by the yard |
I bought a mile and shipped them home so I could read |
Ten thousand ten-word tragedies, the lives these strangers lead |
To remind myself the things I need |
I once wrote you love songs |
You never fell in love |
We used to fit like mittens, but never like gloves |
You left me feeling like we’d never really been in love |
Huddled homebound in my place in Holloway |
I wondered if you even heard those songs I used to play |
I wrote them as a gift for you and in return |
You gave a pair of hand-knit mittens to keep my fingers warm |
So I could play more ignored love songs |
I once wrote you love songs |
You never fell in love |
We used to fit like mittens, but never like gloves |
I once wrote you postcards |
But you never wrote back |
You promised me you would and I’m still waiting for that |
You left me feeling like we’d never really been in love |
Don’t want to fit like mittens |
I want to fit like gloves |
I want to fit like gloves |
I want to fit like gloves |
I once wrote you love songs |
You never fell in love |
We used to fit like mittens, but never like gloves |
But never like gloves |
