Lyrics
The Shape Of You
The coffee grinder at the local diner
is a small reminder of better times between me and you.
The coriander at ?Salamanders?
recalls a time when you were mine and all I knew.
You know it?s true.
The vacancy you left on your side of the bed
is still in the shape of you.
It?s still in the shape of you.
This is how I remember you.
It?s still in the shape of you.
A passing fragrance, a crescent moon.
A park at sunset, a deja vu.
We used to dine alfresco.
Now I dine alone.
I miss the shape of you.
I miss the shape of home.
You know it?s true.
The vacancy you left on your side of the bed
Has stayed the same since the day you walked out of my head.
(Chorus)
