Futile Devices

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 face I do love you I do love you And when you play guitar I listen to the strings buzz The metal vibrates underneath your fingers And when you crochet I feel mesmerized and proud And 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 long But you are the life I needed all along I think of you as my brother Although that sounds dumb Words are futile devices
