you make me shiver, shake
all at the same time, i'm warm
doing nothing but causing so much harm
so much that i feel so fake
don't make me forget your name
we were never the same

i go to the cemetery everyday
grieving for the man i once thought would stay
he didn't, and i remained, but you came
now everything feels so alive and so dead
i'm right here

it's the 1874 kinda weather
spring breaks loose, but i've still got my sweater
it has 'R' stitched on it
but i'm rather carrying 'S' in my heart
it feels so wrong
and so right
you're finally here

"i went to the cemetery today," i said
a rush of chills on the back of my spine
you stopped in your tracks but smiled
"he'd have been happy to see you today"
it feels so right
but i don't know why

i go to the cemetery everyday
grieving for the man i once thought would stay
he didn't, and i remained, but you came
now everything feels so alive and so dead
i'm right here

i'm letting the universe play with me
with the feelings of two men that mean
more than the entire world to me
what does this all mean?

you make me shiver, shake
all at the same time, i'm warm
doing nothing but causing so much harm

don't make me forget your name.
