lyrics

I can't take my ears off of
The air that's pushed from her lips
The kneading grip her right hand bestows on her left
Reminds me of emotion I left lonely
Years and years ago

Now, I can taste the look she gives me from below
A setting smile she's stolen from the ones we know

She says she's never been so alone
And that she still can't remember when
Happiness met with Forever
And shook hands on her name
And gave her life away

And Clarity comes when she opens her eyes
Clarity comes at 5 a.m.
She can't take that away from me
No, she can't just walk away
She can't take that away from me
No, she can't just walk away

"Don't stop being where you stand"
She says, and pantomimes my fall
Untying her cramped fingers
Pointing at me to affirm her convictions

She says, "I'm not here to watch you drown"
"But, I will if I have to"

She says she's never been so alone
That she still can't remember when
Happiness met with Forever
And shook hands on her name
And gave her life away

And Clarity comes when she opens her eyes
Clarity comes at 5 a.m.
She can't take that away from me
No, she can't just walk away
She can't take that away from me
No, she can't just walk away

Bixxby's Grave Minneapolis, Minnesota

My name is Bixxby.
I am all that is left of a songwriter's imagination.
No, you'll never have the privilege of knowing me.

My name is Bixxby.
No, that's not the name of someone in the band.
Yes, the two X's are necessary.

My name is Bixxby.
Let someone else hear this when you're done with the Internet.

My name is Bixxby.
Yes, I know what the Internet is.

Now, pardon me... I must roll over.
