A band-aid on my finger
A sign taped to my back
You’re the glue I can’t forget
Waterproof and proving
No matter how much I push you
Farther into the gap of forgotten memories
Somebody sends you back
Something sends you back

I just want it to stop reminding me
Before I break down again
So far it’s going as well as an uphill bicycle ride
Everywhere I go somebody tells me
There’s a sign on my back
With a crayola heart
The one you didn’t mean to draw
With closed eyes and a closed heart

What I’m trying to say
Is what I told you before
It’s just this feeling I can’t shake
You know that I’m in love with you
But what good does it do
When all I have is a band-aid
Reminding me I’m broken
Fixed it myself ‘cause you didn’t want to

You won’t go away
And if I look away
I still see your face in the sky
A scrawny piece of string pulling me back
With the knot tied too tight
Too tight to undo
How am I supposed to stop
What I couldn’t help in the first place?
