Damned as the morning dew
Counting 'em up by 2's
Freckles along your skin
The ink spilling down your ribs
Long before you filled in your worn-out sleeves
Long before you rehearsed apologies
Right around when we chose one to be
Part of our surface anatomy
Render it true
It's always with you
Rendering true
It's always with you
It's best to take years after all that time
Cover up each of these seven strikes
But tucked behind mountains and evergreens
You're part of my surface anatomy
You're part of my surface anatomy
Damned if we do or don't
Humming the words I wrote
Met by a stagnant dawn
The time it took took too long
Long before the infinite space to breathe
Long before time lost it's quality
Right around when we chose one to be
Part of our surface anatomy
There in it's true
It's always with you
There in it's true
I'm always with you
It's best to take years after all that time
Cover up each of these seven strikes
But tucked behind mountains and evergreens
You're part of my surface anatomy
You're part of my surface anatomy
