Chess (feat. Ben Moss)

lyrics

DAVID
When you're alone it’s not such a sin.
To play a game of chess against yourself.
I poured two cups.
I drank for you.
And kept the bottle off the shelf.
And when the morning sun came in
Just like it always does,
I called, "I hope you slept ok.
I made you breakfast just because."
Then I said " I love you."
I said, "I love you."

And then I wrote a story every day.
And memorized them all by heart.
I spun the tales.
I read aloud
And somehow my stories felt like art.
And in the stories you were here
Just in another room.
I made a ghost of you to love.
And so i smelled your sweet perfume
And i said, "I love you."
I said, "I love you."

It was easy to do
It was quiet, I confess
Delusional, I guess
But it's easier to dream, than know what's true
It's easier to dream than just love you, Ella.
