Secrets

Please don’t

Ask

What I

Want

For you,

I make my own decisions

I’m lucky I can make any at all.

Please don’t

Take

Words from my lips,

You’re a hypocrite,

But you’re the best I can do.

Woah.

 

Secrets in your pockets,

Secrets in your eyes,

Secrets in the sounds you make,

Before we watch the sunrise.

Secrets in the distance,

Secrets on the rise,

Secrets sent straight to your house,

Like a mail order bride.

 

Please don’t

Leave.

This heart on

My sleeve,

It’d be safer in between your sheets.

Just keep,

My promises,

For me,

Cause I know you don’t break them.

Even though,

I know,

You’ve got….

 

Secrets in your pockets,

Secrets in your eyes,

Secrets in the sounds you make,

Before we watch the sunrise.

Secrets in the distance,

Secrets on the rise,

Secrets sent straight to your house,

Like a mail order bride.

 

The breath,

The breath,

The breath on my neck,

It takes,

It takes,

It takes,

My breath from my chest,

And oh…

Woahhh.

I know.

 

Secrets in your pockets,

Secrets in your eyes,

Secrets in the sounds you make,

Before we watch the sunrise.

Secrets in the distance,

Secrets on the rise,

Secrets sent straight to your house,

Like a mail order bride.

At The Bottom

If I put you on my wings,

And showed you how to fly?

Would you hate me when we fell?

Cause you distracted me with your eyes.

If I lead you up a staircase,

Into the tiniest room you ever saw,

Would you wanna that be close to me?

Somehow I think you would.

And somehow I’m still at the bottom.

 

At the bottom of the list,

You’re at the bottom of a bottle.

Taking that final sip.

At the bottom of the night,

Headed right into the morning,

At the bottom of the darkest hour

Before the dawn.

 

If I let, you forget,

Would I ever let myself get sleep?

I would miss my dreams of you, you know,

Even though your smiles always better in the day…light.

 

It’s all so simple.

If we shut our eyes,

Would we enjoy the free fall?

Cause somehow we get to the bottom.

 

At the bottom of the list,

You’re at the bottom of a bottle.

Taking that final sip.

At the bottom of the night,

Headed right into the morning,

At the bottom of the darkest hour

Before the dawn.

Before Tonight

You touched my hand, so tenderly.

You met my eyes and smiled at me.

Gently kissed me on my cracked lips.

Put your calloused upon my hips and said.

 

I wish I knew you before tonight.

I wish I knew your last name.

I know this is right, I know this is right,

I know I’m smiling and you’re to blame.

 

He traced her steps, so quietly.

He touched her cheek; silently.

Words aren’t needed with looks like that.

They knew that it was all they’d need and said.

 

I wish I knew you before tonight.

I wish I knew your last name.

I know this is right, I know this is right,

I know I’m smiling and you’re to blame.

 

This heart beats warm, even blood.

You taste like danger, but still so good.

I know it’s wrong, we know its wrong,

You know its wrong, but…

 

I wish I knew you before tonight.

I wish I knew your last name.

I know this is right, I know this is right,

I know I’m smiling and you’re to blame.

Ties

I’ve always been proud

Of my ability to walk away

Even where others might get too attached.

Even as

You take that from me,

I still don’t ever want to let you go.

 

You’re a vision.

My own personal devil.

Your light burns brighter than the sun.

 

Chain me, chain me down.

Tie me to the bed.

Show me that you’re heaven sent.

Chain me, chain me down.

It’s not all in my head.

Tell me you meant all you said.

Woah….. woah….

 

You’ve never been proud,

Of the way your smile just goes crooked,

And your teeth just won’t ever be so white.

Even as,

She gives that to you,

I hear you tell me that you’ll never let me go.

 

You’re a vision.

My own personal devil.

Your light burns brighter than the sun.

 

Chain me, chain me down.

Tie me to the bed.

Show me that you’re heaven sent.

Chain me, chain me down.

It’s not all in my head.

Tell me you meant all you said.

Woah….. woah….

You’re a vision.

My own personal crucifix.

Your light burns brighter than the sun.

 

Chain me, chain me down.

Free me from his kiss of death.

Show me that you’re heaven sent.

Chain me, chain me down.

It’s not all in my head.

Tell me you meant all you said.

Woah….. woah….
