lyrics

you stand on my doorstep, two feet deep in snow
hands crammed in your pockets, almost ready to go
it makes me sick to look at you, no i don't know why
so i don't even mention it, i just say goodbye

body of marble, tomb of bone
i've been here all my life and i wanna go home

you lie out beneath me in nothing but your shirt
i don't know where this pain comes from, i guess loving you just hurts
my eyes linger for a moment on the shadows on your neck
i imagine leaving you for a second just to check

body of marble, tomb of bone
i've been here all my life and i wanna go home

and while you lie there, i remember you, and mark your shape
you'd never been so beautiful, i could dream only of escape

out the window don't you see how the burdened trees all bend?
aren't we just like those poor trees, love? or that's what i pretend
crushed beneath the frozen weight we crowd together to stay warm
but staying put won't keep us safe when comes the winter storm

body of marble, tomb of bone
i've been here all my life and i wanna go home
