[Verse 1]

Let me be the lichen that grows when it rains

Green upon the bark dotting the landscape

Let me cling to you when conditions are right

And I can drink away at the coming light

Oh, the matches you struck and held by my cheeks

I felt them burn, I felt them sting

Don't you miss me?

Don't you?

[Verse 2]

I was part of what you'd conceal

The differences in the love you'd feel

This heart isn't mine, it acts on its own accord

I feel much further than I have before

When you bury me, don't put lilies in my fist

Put a beer bottle there 'cause that's how I lived

Won't you miss me?

[Bridge]

When you left you didn't crack my ribs and take my heart

You left it there and you took my lungs

Black around the edges with no room to breathe

I stumbled on and looked to the trees

When you left you didn't crack my ribs and take my heart

You left it there and you took my lungs

Black around the edges with no room to breathe

I stumbled on and looked to the trees

[Outro]

Let me be the lichen that grows when it rains
