An Anecdote At Most Lyrics

Pictures on my wall of a once best friend who's now

Just an anecdote at most

And the scarf that's hanging from my bed

Once hung from the neck of a boy whose name I'll always know

We collect each other like the river collects the drops that fall from the sky

Gather up stories, let them fall into our bodies and we'll keep flowing by, by, by

Oh, oh, oh

No pictures on your wall of your almost lover, she's now

Just an anecdote at most

And her dress won't fall on your floor anymore

But I promise you that she'll never forget

We collect each other like the river collects the drops that fall from the sky

Gather up stories, let them fall into our bodies and we'll keep flowing by, by, by

Till we say goodbye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye

Till we say goodbye

Once they were your world, now you pass them in the street

Without a word, but they're painted on your skin

You felt them sinking in and the pang you feel right now has a meaning

Our bodies don't forget, even when it's all lost in

The corners of our minds that we can't quite reach

Now my hand reaches out to a face that I don't even recognise

Oh, oh, oh

But your soul always knows

Oh, your soul always knows
