I was wondering where they went 

thank you for showing them to me

now you won’t give them back

my true feelings

 

they had left me sometime around 

my mid-thirties 

something in me dawned 

something else walked out early 

 

I just went on doing 

what I’m still doing 

momentum and muscle memory 

explained in detail in the documentary 

 

you’re giving them a name

and a place amongst your things 

you tell me they’re all 

you ever wanted from me
