The Shape I Found You In


by Ty Greenstein

You were spoken for

I spent twenty lifetimes at your door

But your heart was busy within

Building bomb shelters under your skin

That's the shape I found you in

That's the shape I found you in



I was calling to you

It was one thing I knew how to do

But my heart tried to cheat

Building safety nets under my feet

So if I fell I would fall right in

That's the shape you found me in



You were delivered to me

We were closed as the stores on Christmas Eve

So I felt around in the dark

Building rope ladders into your heart

Climbing hand over hand to get in

That's the shape I found you in

That's the shape I found you in
