It's like when I talk,
He's waiting for me to stop
So he can take my chin and tilt it up
Like shut up and kiss me,
Baby shut up and miss me
'Cause you hear what I say
You look in my eyes
He stares at my face

Your face in pixels,
All you are, at least so far
I've got notes and holds to share with you
The story of the bird I lost,
And the way it flew
I want you taped to the wall
That's the madness in me
All the voices chant around our twirling dance,
Harassing our party scene
You should know when it's cold,
I'm a hot coal to hold
But cooled and pressed I'm diamonds
July will come and rescue me,
But now I need you a million times ten

I'll fall for you like running in the dark
Fall into your quivering heart
Your crystal eyes, and they'll cling to mine
Like Cambria clouds tumble into the night
And the chords you play will clutch to me,
Pull us ever closer, like the fog and streets
Any white room turns green from you,
I would do anything you wanted me to

I'm prepared to give it all up
Prepared to fall into the lights and cars,
I'm ready for the constant go and the moving home,
For a nomadic soul
I'm ready to see my own eyes everywhere but in mirrors
I'm ready to let it have me

He had blue and orange eyes that were black when he's high
And sweet peach lips that turned white
Soft red hands,
That turned gray from the ash
Toes that were purple in the light
A trembling heart,
That glowed green in the dark,
And yellow all under his nails
Slapped-pink cheeks,
A couple golden back teeth
The same shade of black from before in his hair

No good and my wings are ripped,
But there was empty space to begin with
Would you still kiss me with blood on my neck?
Like a video girl, and you're paid for this?
You just walked out on all your friends,
And I'll do you good for that
I'll make you proud for that

Oh the beauty of a beating heart,
So red and instead,
Never to bed,
Always promising just a little bit longer
And oh the curiosity of crickets when it's light out,
Like rain in a sun town,
Dressing up to ride around
