Song lyrics

It's been a long, long time since I've memorized your face,
It's been four hours now since I've wandered through your place,
And when I sleep on your couch, I feel very safe,
And when you bring the blankets, I cover up my face.
I do love you,
I do love you.

And when you play guitar, I listen to the strings buzz,
The metal vibrates underneath your fingers,
And when you crochet, I feel mesmerized and proud,
And I would say I love you, but saying it out loud is hard,
So I won't say it at all.
And I won't stay very long,
But you are the life I needed all along ,
I think of you as my brother,
Although that sounds dumb,
Words are futile devices.
