If I were God, I'd blind the youth The gnawing weight of final night To all the pain that hides in truth Unwilling, I have been fed to life Bellowing for just a crumb Static in the constant hum To drink from life's flowing stream Poisoned Upon loss Upon loss, we're reminded of hell Existence of pain and free will Denial A cancer that eats at the shell Lost forever Loss Upon loss lives denial Upon loss, how can I move on now? Are you washed in, in the blood? (Are you washed in the blood?) It sinks in its teeth It comes for us all (I can't see the roots of his shadow) Are you washed in, in the blood? It comes for me in the dead of night In the dead of night I was visited by death again Upon loss Everything is quiet now!

Do you still take a long time to get ready? 'Cause you used to make too much out of that kind of stuff When you turn your head around and it kills 'Cause the dress looks nice on you still And it always will I wait a long time just to see you I'm happy to be catching up No, we don't have to patch things up Just turn the lights down, the thrill 'Cause the dress looks nice on you still And it always will (so) We should go out and dance like we used to dance We should go out and hold hands like lovers hold hands And I can't tell you who's gonna last Well maybe that's a question, answer I don't have (I can't tell) Okay, I took a long time to get ready too 'Cause I didn't remember it and my hair got heavy like it tends to do When I know that ain't part of the deal But the dress looks nice on you still And it always will I hated myself for some time For the things that I said, the things that I put in your head And I tried and I tried and I failed But the dress looks nice on you still And it always will, so We should go out and dance like we used to dance We should go out and hold hands like lovers hold hands And I can't tell you who's gonna last Maybe that's a question, answer I don't have Maybe that's a question, answer I don't have, mhmm We should go out and dance like we used to dance We should go out and hold hands like lovers hold hands And I can't tell you who's gonna last Maybe that's a question, answer I don't have Maybe that's a question, answer I don't have (Maybe that's a question, answer I don't have) we should go out We should go out Go out

You're dressing like a Sunday morning And your eyes look like, little islands in the light Hazel and light green On white sheets You're grinning like a Friday night And you're smiling like You know what you like, I think I do know you well I know you well We come alive in the evening With heat and wet skin And our bodies are tossed And turned, tangled up in it I come alive when you tease me With heat and wet skin Flesh and bone turned Flesh and bone turned The weight of you close to me You hold me like a prized possession That's close Our bodies, unfurl like smoke We twist and we curl like smoke Fever out (burning out) We're burning out Holler out We holler out 'til hollowed out Oh, we come alive in the evening With heat and wet skin And our bodies are tossed And turned, tangled up in it I come alive when you tease me With heat and wet skin Flesh and bone turned, ooh So much flesh and bone turned The weight of you in the evening Your wet skin Our bodies are tossed And turned, tangled up in it I come alive when you tease me With heat and wet skin Your body's close And your body close The weight of you

Cold hands and beer cans That's how we used to chill We took the Dodge from your mom And parked it up the hill You said "I can't wait forever" You said "I can't wait forever" Fuzz from the radio Feet above the wheel Leaning back in the backseat It's like the world was still You said "I can't wait forever" You said "I can't wait forever" I remember the windows were fogging And we were nodding off 'cause we both were drunk I had my hands in your pockets And a cop came and he woke us up softly I think of that often Do you remember that letter I sent you That winter when we were seventeen? Sayin' that I wish we'd get married And we could pack our bags And run away from all our problems I think of that often I'm wishin' I could find you I'm wishin' I could tell you something I think of you often I'm wishin' I could find you I'm wishin' I could tell you something I think of you often I remember the windows were fogging And we were nodding off 'cause we both were drunk I had my hands in your pockets And a cop came and he woke us up softly I think of that often
