lyrics

The sudden impact of our kiss…
My lips and your lips tick…
A bomb which leaves a crater
where my mouth was just once
a gaping hole.

But we should’ve known by now
we’ve never shared a thing
and if we don’t slow this down
we’ll never change a thing...

If ever either of us came to rely
on what the other could not provide,
if ever we missed out on every last try
I apologize…

But we should’ve known by now
we’ve never shared a thing
and if we don’t slow this down
we’ll never change a thing...

There’s more to this than what we found,
textbook archaeology,
so don’t try to talk me down—
this ledge is just a wedding ring…

Your hair like fallen power lines
sparked on the open roads
of my body, my scars skid marks
where my past came to a halt…

And then I began again with you…

But we should’ve known by now
we’ve never shared a thing
and if we don’t slow this down
we’ll never change a thing...

There’s more to this than what we found,
textbook archaeology,
so don’t try to talk me down—
this ledge is just a wedding ring…

And then I began again without you…
