Futile Devices (Acoustic) by Sufjan Stevens
It's (1)________ a long, (2)________ time
Since I've memorized (3)________ face
It's been (4)________ hours now
Since I've (5)________________ through (6)________ place
And when I (7)__________ on your couch
I (8)________ (9)________ safe
And when you bring the blankets
I (10)__________ up my face
I do
Love you
I do...
Love you
And (11)________ you (12)________ guitar
I (13)____________ to the strings buzz
The metal vibrates underneath (14)________ fingers
And (15)________ you crochet
I feel mesmerized and proud
And I (16)__________ say I (17)________ you
But (18)____________ it out loud is hard
So I won't say it at all
And I won't stay (19)________ long
But you are life I (20)____________ all along
I think of you as my brother
Although that sounds dumb
And words are futile devices
Since I've memorized (3)________ face
It's been (4)________ hours now
Since I've (5)________________ through (6)________ place
And when I (7)__________ on your couch
I (8)________ (9)________ safe
And when you bring the blankets
I (10)__________ up my face
I do
Love you
I do...
Love you
And (11)________ you (12)________ guitar
I (13)____________ to the strings buzz
The metal vibrates underneath (14)________ fingers
And (15)________ you crochet
I feel mesmerized and proud
And I (16)__________ say I (17)________ you
But (18)____________ it out loud is hard
So I won't say it at all
And I won't stay (19)________ long
But you are life I (20)____________ all along
I think of you as my brother
Although that sounds dumb
And words are futile devices
