Do you remember when we kissed
Like spaceships
He took a shot of something strong
So he would feel less weak
She's holding her tonic
Like a cross
Jealousy
Turning sinks into the sea
Is this really happening
Exchanging body heat
How I hope to god
He was worth it
As your dress falls to the floor
Well in fact
I mean look at this way
Stop me if you've heard this one
Before
I'm damned if I do ya
Damned if I don't
I've got time to spare
So how about a quick fuck
So you can smell her perfume
You can see her lying naked
Lying on the floor
We're braying
Swaying
We don't know what we're saying
How I wish you were mine
With eyes that burn like cigarettes
She's taking a drag
It's all in my head
I'm done with this game
Nothing I've said before
Makes any sense now
Nothing I've risked
Can thrill me like you do
Say it say it say it
I love you
At least I'm not a liar
At least
Stay
No I will never have another
Lover
My heart is beating so fast
It makes my ribs sound
Like a fucking railroad track
Lets be alone together
I'm not showy
Ok I lied
It's beautiful
Insatiable
The way our chemicals collide
Your hands protect the flame
From the wild winds around you
We realize we need them
To be who we are
Without them we'd be doomed
I lost where I began
Will you help me understand?
It's been so long
I'd sing you all to sleep
Don't mess with me
Hold my hand
It's the beauty of the dark
