"Futile Devices" lyrics

"Futile Devices"
(originally by Sufjan Stevens)

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
And words are futile devices
