After having spent a fast year Waiting for the next time I can get you close
I grew used to being back here Like a chorus and rhyme, soldier at his post
You call and I respond, the sparrow and the song I miss you when you’re gone
When I am alone, I see you in the dark I talk into the empty like you were with me
Started on a cold night, felt you in the low light Noticing the reflex taking over me
I see you when I reach (ooohhh yeah) Muscle memory (ooooohh)
Again, off into the next fall I am on the back steps trying to let you in
See you standing in the front hall Maybe this is madness underneath my skin
Guess love is a response of the body it haunts And we do what it wants
When I am alone, I see you in the dark I talk into the empty like you were with me
Started on a cold night, felt you in the low light Noticing the reflex taking over me
I see you when I reach (ooohhh yeah) Muscle memory (ooooohh)
I feel you endlessly (ooohhh yeah) Muscle memory (ooooohh)
When I feel the chains of a thousand words And I speak your name like I know you heard
I can feel you there, I can hear you move And it moves me, too
And I’m playing games and I’m drinking wine And I see your glass sitting next to mine
I can feel you there when you’re not at home Like I’m not alone
When I am alone, I see you in the dark I talk into the empty like you were with me
Started on a cold night, felt you in the low light Noticing the reflex taking over me
I see you when I reach (ooohhh yeah) Muscle memory (ooooohh)
I feel you endlessly (ooohhh yeah) Muscle memory
