Lyrics

Every Little Hair Knows Your Name

Every cell in this body
Has been replaced since I last saw you
But the memory is in the DNA
And through the vessel and veins
Weaves that hale round the brain
Every little hair knows your name

Every little hair knows your name
Every little hair knows your name

I started working out when we broke up
I can do one hundred pushups
I could probably do two if I was bored
I wrote some songs when we broke up
But nothing came out so I stopped
Every chord I struck was a miserable chord

Like an F minor 11
Or an E flat major 7
It all sounds the same
Every chord knows your name

Every little hair knows your name
Every little hair knows your name
