lyrics

i am looking for a place i’ve been before
but nothing looks the same
i turn down all the right streets
but my eyes keep playing tricks on me
has your figure lost its form
has your figure lost its form
i cannot find you anymore
i cannot find you anymore

on the j train back to the city
the world was supposed to end
you said the end is just a symbol
for something we cannot understand
but nothing could prepare me
sitting restlessly alone
when the news
came through my phone
has your figure lost its form
has your figure lost its form
i cannot find you anymore
i cannot find you anymore

that night in berkeley
we sat in a circle and talked about how
we could not believe
and for three years after
i’d wake up smiling but shaken
from talking to you in my dreams
but now so much time has passed
does your spirit stay the same
does the background draw nearer
or does your vision slowly fade
has your figure lost its form
has your figure lost its form
i cannot find you anymore
i cannot find you anymore

so when i get back to my apartment
i pick three books off the shelf
and i read my favorite passages
out loud in the mirror to myself
and i imagine you can hear me
wherever you have found your place
and then i put the books back on the shelf
and just dance the night away

has your figure lost its form
has your figure lost its form
i cannot find you anymore
i cannot find you anymore
