lyrics

And I will kiss the whiskey out of your mouth,
and chase away what it can’t wash down.
I won’t need more than another night to,
prove the ghost that haunts you is still alive.
Memory will never buy back want you want
and the well you’re at, is waiting for a wish.
I'm the one drinking up your words
like a desert dry, or an endless book.
Keep me here,
when morning comes.

I missed another turn and got lost, you,
found me like a coin that you kept, to,
buy yourself a second shot at love.
But look at what it’s cost us both,
I’m spent and your heart is broke, so,
light another candle now for us.
Time is a bitter thing, a thief with no gold to sell,
just dreams that nobody wants but us.
It’s easier to contemplate, when it’s ten years too late,
what a kiss on your pretty face, could change.
A moth in a feral wind, a kiss with no fist to find,
a face with no lies to hide behind.
I pull on the line you’re on, it tears through me like a knife
but blood is the only proof I’m here.

I don’t want to be the reason that you’re crying,
but the tears you’re shedding only prove this is right.
So tear those clothes from your gold-dug body,
and let me show you what a new man sees.
I don’t want to hear you blaming yourself for
for ticking clocks, and what they take away.
Change will come, like a thief in the night,
for every one, you’re not alone in that.
Keep me here
when the morning comes.
