I Taught You to Linger

from Antique Travelers [album] by Leitbur

/

lyrics

linger, nearer, mirror, needed
linger, nearer, mirror, make you whole

my vagrant heart
it’s starting to vanish
same old mirage
been holding me captive
all my life
i wanted to blow out
my old cycle:
walking in place, on my own
furrows leaving no definite trace

i taught you to linger
by keeping you nearer
you looked in the mirror
and found what you needed
(clues to make me whole)
i taught you to linger
(you taught me to linger)
i taught you to linger
(you taught me to linger)
you found the clues
to make you whole

your accepting eyes
always pulling me closer
rose-colored life
you’re winning me over
but i still deny
that my war
comes from inside
i navigate my unknown
by the signs of life on your face

in my perfect lie
i could survive
but I won’t deny you
(won’t deny you)
i’m in the fight

(chorus)
