lyrics

I don't really have to know
The kinds of kisses you would throw
A deadly form of undertow
To take me down

Ascending on that subtle sway
I'd rather die than live this way
So give my love to holidays
Salt and sweet, 'cause

Chorus
You can't describe
You don't have the words
And you don't have the mind
I can't pretend
A means that I intend
As hollow as this end
Is

Now look you've come to worry me
To sugar-sweet and bully me
Tragedy or comedy
You decide
Regretting how you spoke that truth
Of buckled backs and broken youth
Still reaching for the butter blue
Pie-love sky that

Chorus

Would I be lucky just to wait
Out these days, the years that groom us to our fate?
And I know I should be glad
It's just the best I ever had
Then why does it always seem so sad?

To cup it like a grassy blade
Just bottle up and curse the day
Instead I give myself away
Every time

So sappharine the seams I sow
It's not a side I like to show
Still I don't really want to know
How you shine, 'cause

Chorus
