I take you out buy you shoes
|
you take me home and help me choose
|
between the kitchen table and the bed.
|
|
you open up my stubborn mouth
|
you feed me like a summer trout
|
rising up to breathe between your legs.
|
|
hold yourself up high
|
hold yourself up high.
|
your body as a marker
|
a beacon in the dark.
|
|
stay where I can reach
|
stay where I can reach.
|
your body as a marker
|
of what I am so far.
|
|
you wake up wrapped around my waist
|
I wake up to the heavy taste of you
|
hanging heavy in the air.
|
|
if I could find a words so sweet
|
that would cut you up and make you start to bleed.
|
bleed heavy in my hair.
|
|
hold yourself up high
|
hold yourself up high.
|
your body as a marker
|
a beacon in the dark.
|
|
stay where I can reach
|
stay where I can reach.
|
your body as a marker
|
of what I am so far.
|
|
she's cinnamon in my brain
|
cinnamon in my brain.
|
she's cinnamon in my brain
|
cinnamon in my vein.
|
|
catch me once before I die
|
with someone else make you cry
|
the way you're always scared I'm gonna do.
|
|
and all your fear won't have been in vain
|
and all these years of going insane
|
a sweet vindication for you.
|
|
hold yourself up high
|
hold yourself up high
|
hold yourself up high.
|
your body as a marker
|
a beacon in the dark.
|
|
stay where I can reach
|
stay where I can reach.
|
your body as a marker
|
of what I am so far.
