lyrics

We crashed like a tidal wave,
this ship sank a month ago,
shark is at my shin again
coming for the final blow.

You shine like a candle light,
I blow like a wind too strong,
this is either right or wrong,
light me up or let me go.

Your heart was the shape i’m in
bent me up and beat me in,
bust my ribs and take the thing,
it needs me less than it needs you.

Can’t escape the cage i’m in
your key opens everything
lock me up or let me in,
don’t just leave me here, that’s cold.


Call it what you want, you leave it in the rain,
you fly it like a kite, the wind is changing anyway.
Comet in the sky, falling hard tonight,
looking for a fight, it’s gonna miss us anyway.
Boy is crying wolf, wolf is in the yard,
the boy is on the fence, the sheep is happy anyway.
You’re keeping what you want, and taking what you need,
you’re breaking the glass, and calling an emergency.
Your face is like the sun, I’m staring too long,
I’m blind like love, But I can’t look away.
A million other stars, a galaxy to mine,
it’s a long way up, when you break those promises.
