On the night you left It was a clear, dark sky But inside my car it was raining And the engine rolled into a storm I saw the lights off a coastguard's boat Heat from my ring, your name engraved with mine An icy welt melting against my skin Then you ask me where I've been, I've been in the hail of Seattle Throwing tantrums in front of speeding cars Kissing the railings off every tall bridge Lifting myself high in the rigging and tipping back- I've been teaching myself to breathe where the air is thin

You Stole Every Breath
On the night you left It was a clear, dark sky But inside my car it was raining And the engine rolled into a storm I saw the lights off a coastguard's boat Heat from my ring, your name engraved with mine An icy welt melting against my skin Then you ask me where I've been, I've been in the hail of Seattle Throwing tantrums in front of speeding cars Kissing the railings off every tall bridge Lifting myself high in the rigging and tipping back- I've been teaching myself to breathe where the air is thin
Casting my thoughts in a hollow monologue Gripping the chain around my neck and dreaming Take me to the atmosphere, anywhere I still exist with someone.
