Watermark

All the new things I don’t know about you

I’m sure you’ve grown up quite a bit

People sometimes ask about you

I’m never sure what to reply with

 

I’m a water mark in your bed

An ink stain, dried but left

A faded face in your photographs

Just another ghost you left in your past

I’m a water mark for your bed

Another notch left in your belt

An hour past in a different life

An ink stain, long, long dried

 

All the new things you don’t know about me

I’ve grown up some since then

I wonder if you ever think about me

Wonder what we’d be doing if I wasn’t

 

A water mark in your bed

An ink stain, dried but left

A faded face in your photographs

Just another ghost you left in your past

I’m a water mark for your bed

Another notch left in your belt

An hour past in a different life

An ink stain, long, long dried

 

A faded face in your photographs,

Just another ghost you left in your past,

Swallowed by the hands of time,

I let myself spin around

In the memory of you and me

In the memory of us.

(A faded face in your photographs)

Swallowed by the hands of time

(Just another ghost you left in your past)

Swallowed by the hands of time

 

I’m a water mark in your bed

An ink stain, dried but left

A faded face in your photographs

Just another ghost you left in your past

I’m a water mark for your bed

Another notch left in your belt

An hour past in a different life

An ink stain, long, long dried

I’m a watermark in your bed.
