We were -
Tethered together, all night
Now, she already knows I am best with
The tip of the tongue, teeth and the lips
But I am no libelist, just a masochist
Yet, still a fucking romantic
Can't you tell from
The white lies, red wine, her tan lines
Sometimes, it's like I've been paralyzed;
Like long days and short years don't just pass you by,
They rock you back and forth
Until you're numb
Is this going to be a lonely life?
Because even when I hold her closely, I
Can't stop my aching for this other dime -
That righteous vixen, she's the night, the sky, the tide;
But never with me for the morning light
It's love like sex, sex like suicide -
Burn all of these kings just to feel alright, I'm a
Chance taker, let me take my time
After all these lines I've tied
Come to unfurl, unfold, unwind
It would seem I'm just so scared to die
Before I leave what could keep me alive
I swear I tried to love, just learned to lie
But still I could not be satisfied
And though, you know I know you tried
It was not with a kiss, but with a bite -
You sank your teeth
