Hard to miss, you can take me home.
I'd rather be anyone than to be alone.
Marlboro-stained teeth
have my lips controlled.
Don't mistake the chemicals
for our souls.
I move with the waters inside your ribcage.
Because when I drown in you,
it's the perfect place.
Softly, please, taking off our clothes:
I can see the kisses that have left holes.
You've been acid-washed
by love that wasn't stronger.
Take off your armor,
so you can stay here longer.
Your face is as cold
as the place I found you in.
You can let go of the hurt
trapped beneath your skin.
I keep warm in your fire that beats fast.
To be alone with you, it to be, at last.
Hard to miss, I will take you home.
You can be anyone, rather than be alone.
Remove your shoes, but not your heart.
You can stay here, as our world falls apart.

Hard to miss, you can take me home.
I'd rather be anyone than to be alone.
Marlboro-stained teeth
have my lips controlled.
Don't mistake the chemicals
for our souls.
I move with the waters inside your ribcage.
Because when I drown in you,
it's the perfect place.
Softly, please, taking off our clothes:
I can see the kisses that have left holes.
You've been acid-washed
by love that wasn't stronger.
Take off your armor,
so you can stay here longer.
Your face is as cold
as the place I found you in.
You can let go of the hurt
trapped beneath your skin.
I keep warm in your fire that beats fast.
To be alone with you, it to be, at last.
Hard to miss, I will take you home.
You can be anyone, rather than be alone.
Remove your shoes, but not your heart.
You can stay here, as our world falls apart.
