Piercing eyes embroider me
I didn't think we'd fray
Wildflowers meet pocket knife
That I took from the grave
Indigos on her front porch
Neighboring the ashtray
I hope the colors will make her smile
Don't know how else to say
She is the ashes in my mouth
She is the wine stain on my teeth
She is the space inside my heart I made for something sweet
She is the ashes in my mouth
She is the wine stain on my teeth
She is the space inside my heart I made for something sweet
How does something delicate
Look deadly at the same time
Making music to my ears
When her lips move against mine
Walk a tightrope, take it slow
Still settled on a fault line
Would I have loved her differently
If I had known the deadline
She is the ashes in my mouth
She is the wine stain on my teeth
She is the space inside my heart I made for something sweet
She is the ashes in my mouth
She is the wine stain on my teeth
She is the space inside my heart I made for something sweet
How does something fall apart
Without a warning sign
Quiet as a setting sun
Behind a hazy sky
New moon we're falling through
She says she can't see me
I just want what's best for her
I say take care, truly, baby
She is the ashes in my mouth
She is the wine stain on my teeth
She is the space inside my heart I made for something sweet
Coughing the ashes out my lungs
Pouring the bottle down the sink
Realizing that space inside my heart could be for me
She is the ashes in my mouth
She is the wine stain on my teeth
She is the space inside my heart I made for something sweet
Coughing the ashes out my lungs
Pouring the bottle down the sink
Realizing that space inside my heart was made for me
She is the ashes in my mouth
She is the wine stain on my teeth
She is the space inside my heart I made for something sweet
Coughing the ashes out my lungs
Pouring the bottle down the sink
Realizing that space inside my heart was made for me
