lyrics

THAT BUTTON

today I lost that button
the one you gave me
to replace the lost button previous to your lost button
it was a gold button unlike all the other buttons
and you said it was a "keep it together button"

you had found that button at the beach
it was as if it had come from the deep deep sea
it was as if a little animal with tentacles had made it
and it was the most precious button ever

you had sown that button
like a taylor to my coat
like a doctor stitching wounds like a sorcerer casting a spells
and we both knew what it meant
although we never ever said a single word

I've been spending all day
retracing my steps from the moment that I woke up
to this moment where I stand
and suddenly it is so very clear
that the last part of us has disappeared
