First off - to understand this song we must first understand what "muscle memory" is. A definition of muscle memory is not memory of muscles but memories in your brain entacted for tasks in your muscles.
In the beginning of the song she says pretty much that she's been waiting for him to come back to her. Obviously this guys been gone a long time, maybe they broke up and she still has major feelings for him because he was her muse, her everything. But these too were very insync with each other, she was way head over heals for this guy though.
If he calls her, she's going to answer no doubt. The Sparrow and the song, the song sparrow is a bird known for singing and high pitch chirps when it cals for its mate to come. And she'll miss him when hecomes and goes.
"When I am alone I see you in the dark, I talk into the empty like you were with me, started on a cold night, felt you in the low light noticing the reflex taking over me, I see you when I reach muscle memory" - she's become so use to feeling him right there next to her and she's missing him so much that she reacts off of relfex and she feels him there even when she's not.
Next she's saying that here he is again and she can't help but have her hands all over him -guess the misery it spawns or the body it haunts and we do what it wants- she doesn't know if its the misery of being with out him or her body just doing what comes natural to them. Either way you can you can tell she's very in love with him by this point.
"When you feel the chains of a thousand words, and I speak your name like I know you heard" - she says his name sometimes when he's not around because she's so use to being next to him its unreal when he's not there so it doesn't cross her mind until she's already said something and then she's like "oh yeah he's not here". She says, " I can feel you there, I can hear you move and it moves me too". She is telling us she is so insync with him that she moves to every movement he does and she feels like he's there so it moves her too. "When I'm playing games and I'm drinking wine, and I see your glass sitting next to mine, I can feel you there when you're not at home, like I'm not alone." Here again she is explaining to us how much she has gotten use to this guy that she feels him even when he's not around. She is infatuated big time, totally in love because she's taken the time to be around this guy and become this way with him. (:
Love the song beautifully written. Very powerful!!
