ALL AROUND THE RAIN COMES DOWN
I learned to wipe fire from my lips Wear this cloak of stone as you lean to kiss. I watch the wall you wear her face right off I invent new ways of wishing as you two invent love. Words smolder on my lips as I linger You two share cigarettes and sweetly lace your fingers. I build words like it's important that you hear That all I ever learned from love is how to swallow fear. When were you last rained on? Did it leave you cleaner? Let me be your cloud, to plug the dam with my own finger. Kill me with one touch come on' kill me till I'm free' I will try for just one night to be your casualty. I'm not leaving till I get back what I gave. Yes, to stir the nerves and be good enough for a change. She will hold you close, and I will give you space. You can take the other And I swear I will go away. I don't want to ask, and I don't want to try, But I will fall for assholes till the day I die. I'll tear apart these shadows till I've got you fooled And all around the rain comes down and I'll be happy too'. |
