lyrics

The look in your eye. Your endless sigh.
It’s been too long. Take me home.
Your shadow crawls, across these walls,
you’re everywhere I look and I can’t look away.
If we cannot touch, our eyes can talk,
on all those words I’ve said before.
And I can rewrite the way it’s been,
with one more night in my lonely bed.

It’s coming to the end, you’re crawling in my bed,
and I could never play this part.
You're looking for a friend, and crying on my chest,
and he could never dry those eyes.
You run to your second best.
I’m shouting at a wall, i’m talking to myself,
you never hear a single word.
You're body is a gun, you put it to my head,
you know that I won't say no.
Hold your smile to my throat.
Your hair is in my face, we’re throwing off the sheets,
the whole world is in this room..
You're sighing my name, you soften my bones,
so I can never walk away.
It's no way to make me stay.
My hungry hands want every inch,
of every part of you


Soak your smile. In kerosense.
Light it up. The moth will come.
Is that what you want, to own it all,
when one is not enough and you roll that ball.
I stand around, like a statue still,
your second best is the best I’ve found.
I circle the fire, and dive right in.
One more look and we’ll leave this place.

But what if there's a time, what if there's a place.
I can take you back to that just say you want it,
I can built the bridge you need to get past this.
I know that it’s wrong, but I know what you want.
I can be the wish you hid in the bottle.
Listen to your heart, you know that you'll hear me.

I could’ve walked away, and I should’ve walked away.
(But there’s nowhere but you, there’s nowhere but you.)
You put a hook in my, you hauled me from the sea
(I was a bag of gold, I was a rubber boot.)
You were fireworks, and I had all the words.
(I waited way too long. I waited way too long.)
