Futile Devices (Shigeto Remix)

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 faceI do

Love you

I do

Love youAnd when you play guitar

I listen to the strings buzz

The metal vibrates underneath your fingers

And when you crochet

I feel mesmerized and proudAnd 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 longBut you are life I needed all along

I think of you as my brother

Although that sounds dumbAnd words are futile devices
