[Verse 1]
You shed your shell
Like the cicada leaves his past behind
You loved me into slumber
And you left with the Summer
[Chorus]
Boy, you left me with the shell
Of a body's, in a knot
Hollow as a bell
Baby, can't you tell?
That flesh will start to grow
And fill our empty cages well
[Verse 2]
I rested my knuckles in your palms
Putting closer your tender arms
For tonight only we share a pillow
[Chorus]
Boy, you left me with the shell
Of a body's, in a knot
Hollow as a bell
Baby, can't you tell?
That flesh will start to grow
And fill our empty cages well
[Post-Chorus]
You left me with the spoon
You left me with the bowl
You left me with the remnants of a perfect hole
You left me with the shake
A kiss you'll never stow
[Chorus]
Boy, you left me with the shell
Of a body's, in a knot
Hollow as a bell
Baby, can't you tell?
That flesh will start to grow
And fill our empty cages well
[Post-Chorus]
You left me with the spoon
You left me with the bowl
You left me with the remnants of a perfect hole
You left me with the shake
A kiss you'll never stow
[Post-Chorus]
You left me with the spoon
You left me with the bowl
You left me with the remnants of a perfect hole
You left me with the shake
A kiss you'll never stow
