Open the closet door
And I’ll help you find the little black dress that you’ve been searching for
Its like we’ve spent our lives driving towards a funeral
And I can think of nothing to say at all
But goddamn, you look beautiful
Cold as a tomb
I’m going white at the sight of you
Shivers down your spine, the blood’s run dry
Now you’re running out of time
You’ve got the whole world in your hands
And tonight I’ll bring you back to life again
Back to life again
And on the drive home you tore at your dress
You said the color black just reminds you of death
Everyone around you is a walking cliché
Offering up condolences and laughing about the good days
Your breath is dancing on the windshield; I tried to grab your hands
But even my touch feels like a body bag
I told you not to get sick; now you won’t get better
I told you not to get sick; now you’re stuck forever
Finally got you home and I put you to bed
And in the morning we’ll wake up and we’ll do it all again
(Tell her you love her, float away)
(Tell her you love her, before it's too late)
One day I’ll bring you home just to lay you to rest
And in the morning I’ll wake up to a brand new nightmare
Tell her you love her and float away

Hold me tight, or hang me to dry
It's all the same to me
Its like you bearing fruit with all the things that you do
Keeping branches falling at my feet
I’m watching close every move that you make so I remember when you’re far away
I’m planting seeds that will grow into trees
I’ll find you when I dig through the leaves
You, this one’s for you
(This one’s for you!)
I only see you smiling in the photographs
Breathing life into my dead hands
And I’m counting every blessing ‘cause everyone says you gotta pray if you want the leaves to change
I never believed in any of that
I’ve got everything I need if winter never fades away
Even if the winter never fades away, I’ll never ask for anything
I’ll sleep sound tonight, and blend into the night
Dig your nails in my hands, I’ll wake up for your quick goodbye
I’ll pick off some of your fruit while you’re away
Maybe I’ll find a new place to rest my head
And I watch you as you drink your coffee
Watch you as you purse your lips
I feel the pressure in my head set and release
I wish I could sit up straight; stand up a little taller
Just so that I could hold you on my shoulders
(You got a) little bit too high, and had a little bit too much
So you called me for a ride, and I came to pick you up
A wave goodbye to all your friends as I open up the door
And you’re looking at me like you’ve never seen me before
You said that you hate keeping secrets and I said I fucking hate it too
But there’s a look on your face says that there’s something I need to tell you
I can tell your losing faith in every word that I say
I gotta go, I need to leave
This love is just too suffocating
And I can’t breathe
It's yours

Teeth (Dive Into Me)
03:12

|
We took a walk through the house
Light on my feet as the floorboards creak
Oh,
They’re all staring at me
A shy smile just to light up the place
Sends a shiver from the top of my spine down to the bottoms of my feet
You make my bones shake
You dug into my shoulder with your teeth
Dive into me
And we don’t make a sound
But we’re tangled up between the sheets
Dive into me
I’m not your everyday Kerouac, but I’ll splash around tonight
(And maybe someday, you will feel the same)
I know you’re afraid of tomorrow, but you couldn’t be happier now
(And together we can burn this house to the ground)
My shaking hand took a sip of your drink
This shit tastes like kerosene
Maybe I’m losing it a little bit
But your kiss is just like medicine
Your friends caught us in the bathroom upstairs
Shards of laughter trickled down and cut up their ears
But we’re not sorry for anything
This is our vacation
Dive into me
And I’ll keep you safe as long as you need
And I’ll keep you safe right here with me
And I’ll keep you safe as long as you need
And I’ll try to leave you some room to breathe

Blues

Breathe in; breathe out
And again
Just let go of everything
I’ll take it all in so you can let it all out
I’ll be everything you want me to be
You love to pick me apart just to stitch me back together again
I’ll just put the TV on
I grew some blues, I did it all for you
I grew, its all for you
I’m picking petals off, bright blue forget me nots
Tearing off piece by piece will keep you safe here with me
I promise next year I won’t dig you so deep
And I’ll watch you bloom into another flower tattoo
(I’m picking petals off, bright blue forget me nots)
(And I’ll watch you bloom into another flower tattoo)
Now I’m buried underneath it all
Losing every little ounce of faith
I see the way you look at me
I just can’t be everything that you need
I grew some blues, I did it all for you
I grew, its all for you
I’m picking petals off, bright blue forget me nots
(Fall into your arms)
And I’ll crawl back to you and
(Fall into your arms)
Give you the moon if I could
(Fall into your arms)
But I’ll go spinning round the sun with you
(Fall into your arms)
And dance to the rhythm of the blues
Its all for you
(Now we’re stuck forever)
I only see you smiling in the photographs
(Now we’re stuck forever)
Breathing life into my dead, dead hands
(Now we’re stuck forever)
I’ll keep you safe right here with me

Heaven Is Yours

Slept on the floor, shivering next to the door
We wanted to be the first ones to leave in the morning
Threw on our clothes and we grabbed all our things
A quiet goodbye to all the friends that we made
But I don’t think we’ll see them again
Tonight darling
I’ll warm your bones when you shake from the cold
I’ll hold your hair as your guts spill on the floor
I’ll kiss your back as your falling asleep
‘Cause you’re the only one I need
Heaven is yours to keep
We got in the car
Doing 90 down to Long Island’s crown
You don’t even live there anymore
Caught a glimpse of your eyes in the corner of mine
A quiet reminder of why I’m alive
And I swear that I could stay like this forever
But you’re cold as a tomb, your lips have turned a darker shade of blue
And you said theres something calling out to you
I know that you know I’ll never be whole again
Every fairytale romance needs its tragic end
And then a crash
A symphony of shattered glass
I watched your body spray out through the windshield
Displayed on the asphalt
A Pollack laid flat
And you didn’t move at all
I dragged my legs into a crawl
I reached out my hand and watched the vultures circle round
We’re running out of time
I know your mother would cry if she could see the shreds of emptiness inside of your eyes
You were just like me
You always wanted to see what it would be like to dive in with shoes made of concrete
But they’re taking you now; the road becomes your sea
You’ve been ripped from my arms and now I’ve lost everything
Now the sirens are ringing, the angels are singing
They’ve opened the gates and they’re calling your name
And as I watched you float away, a rush of calm came over me
Heaven is where you were always meant to be
(Set fire to every lifeless hand and watch them burn down to ash
Lost in the silhouettes of a long forgotten romance
Our bodies intertwined as I make angels in the black
And I’ll breathe life into you again with the colors I bring back)
Your spark lit the fire inside of my eyes
And it will burn for the rest of my life
