"Futile Devices (Doveman Remix)" lyrics - 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

[Chorus:]
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

[Bridge:]
So I won't say it at all
And I won't stay very long

[Outro:]
But you are life I needed all along
I think of you as my brother
Although that sounds dumb
And words are futile devices
