Lyrics
There's a wrinkle in the couch where you used to sit, We would laugh for hours while you spun a fine yarn. Now there's nothing but the space where you used to fit. You're my phantom kin, and it hurts sometimes. It hurts sometimes. I hear you in the living room, I feel you in the dark, My mind is gonna give in soon, My heart is torn apart, in the morning there's no mark. Ah-ah-ah, You'll always be my phantom kin. Ah-ah-ah, Even if I start again. Pins, sharpened needles, I can feel every beetle on your skin. I pour my coffee, extra hot, There's always extra in the pot Do I take sugar? I forgot. But I know you liked yours creamy, you're living in my dreams. Ah-ah-ah, You'll always be my phantom kin. Ah-ah-ah, Even if I start again. Pins, sharpened needles, I can feel every beetle on your skin. The tree you planted last summer wouldn't change its leaves with the seasons. And then things got a bit glummer when the hours lasted longer for no reason. I feel you pulling, asking when we're gonna harvest those limes And I said, 'hold your horses, what's your rush? we've got whole heaps of time'
