Tears Are

[Verse 1] Small, wet ways Feign and simulate What we know to be Forms of empathy [Verse 2] I could be the fly Bending round a lifeless face [Chorus] A shiver, a shake There's no mistake You're writing again As though he wept, from two words not two eyes I can't drop, but I can fold I'm a symbol undoing the world I am the thing unreached by words On cheeks converged [Verse 3] If on a cheek we met, mixed And became one forbidden taste That we know to be Salt from the duct that weeps Held in the body that sleeps [Refrain] Sympathetic shapes upon your face Upon your face Sympathetic shapes upon your face [Chorus] A shiver, a shake There's no mistake You're writing again As though he wept, from two words not two eyes I can't drop but I can fold I'm a symbol undoing the world I am the thing unreached by words On cheeks converged [Refrain] Sympathetic shapes upon your face Sympathetic shapes Sympathetic shapes Sympathetic shapes Sympathetic shapes Sympathetic shapes Sympathetic shapes Sympathetic shapes Sympathetic shapes Sympathetic shapes [Outro] Are you hopeful that love can be? Are you hopeful that love can be Tears I'm saving for mine? Are you hopeful that our love can be The tears I'm saving in time? And are you saving mine?
