the X (on every one of my maps) Lyrics

Have yourself a merry little angel

You gave my heart a furry little feeling

Spill it away from my redundant mouth

And I've been head over heels

Over one foot of pavement

Cleaning my pores of all this cement

I've left handprints that go on and on for miles

Long days, short years

That's what they

Tell me as they

Disappear

One day you'll be nearer

One day you'll be clearer

Long days, short years

That's what they

Tell me as they

Disappear

One day you'll be nearer

I've seen

Multiple eternities

Go in and out of this house

Like lovers turned families

And it's

Time to face retirement now

Can't wait to tell you how

Many lives I've lived

Since you've been gone

I'll be waiting at the bridge of rainbows

Til I see you across

You're the X

On every one of my maps

And I'm never lost

Rosy glow

Like your hearts cemented in a

Rosy gold

And light as a feather

But you better fly

While the wind is still beneath you

Cause gravity comes like a bomb

To shoot us all back to earth

And drives the hammer down into the dirt

Yeah it's a headache I can't sleep off

We won our battles but we lost the war

Short bursts, long tears

That's what they

Tell me

Its just how much I care

One day you'll be nearer

One day you'll be clearer after

Long days, short years

That's what they

Tell me as they

Disappear

One day you'll be nearer

I've seen

Multiple eternities

Go in and out of this house

Like lovers turned families

And it's

Time to face retirement now

Can't wait to tell you how

Many lives I've lived

Since you've been gone

I'll be waiting at the bridge of rainbows

Til I see you across

You're the x

On every one of my maps

And I'm never lost

And I'm never lost

Is there a merry little angel now?

I need a day or two to figure it out

Hearing footsteps in the silent cold

I've been mourning you before it was cool

Is there a merry little angel now?

I need a day or two to figure it out

Hearing footsteps in the silent cold

I've been mourning you before it was cool

Yeah I've been mourning you before it was cool

Now I've seen

A long enough eternity

Go in and out of this house

Like lovers turned families

And its

A happy old retirement now

Can't wait to tell you how many lives

I've lived

Since you've been gone

I'll be waiting at the bridge of rainbows

Til I see you across

You're the x

On every one of my maps

And I'm never lost
