I like it when you look that way
Floating on a cinnamon wave
Never come down
Memories with the whistles and chains
Spilled blood never felt the same
Rose eyes with the open retina
Dilated pupils on a foreign gaze
Falling fast with no one to catch ya
Losing track of all the fleeting days
All I wanted was a feeling extra
Not a void left in my heart
In my soul since the day I met ya
Leading horses to the water
Can't make em drink
Even when the sun is getting hotter
They never think
Even though you're digging holes with the spurs on your feet
All I know's for sure untold when I can barely speak
Without you breathing down a neck
Without you stomping on a nerve
I line my teeth up on the sidewalk
I let you boot me on the curb
They ask me why I think that way
Most of the time, don't know what to say
It's hard to speak with a mouth full of lye
Couldn't blame you if you said goodbye
Rose eyes with the open retina
Dilated pupils on a foreign gaze
Falling fast with no one to catch ya
Losing track of all the fleeting days
All I wanted was a feeling extra
Not a void left in my heart
In my soul since the day I met ya
Melancholy from the very start
A little air to help me breathe
A little light to help me see
A little fire to keep us warm
Off the flames of the first born son
