We planted the lightbulbs,
That halloween night,
You said you wanted to lay down in the cold gra** and die.
What do you think about when you're all alone,
It makes you smile,
I wish I had that for my own if only just for awhile.
They'll break you up again,
Like firewood to burn like torches in their hands,
I woke you up from dreaming,
And your eyes were full of sand.
I'll pretend that I have friends,
That you can hear me singing,
Don't wait up, don't wait up,
In the afterlife for me.
Pull me close, but I'm a ghost,
Wake me up if I am dreaming,
Shut the f** up, I'm outta luck,
Burn up in gasoline.
Your heart is a burning coal and,
Your hand is a fan to the flame, no turning back,
Now I'm bitter poison,
Love is a sickness that's hard to catch.
Petals at your feet I watch them,
Dance in delight at your catalyst romance,
I stand right beside you and love you from,
The distance of a sunbeam from the night.
Feel you now so close, you breathing in,
What is the chance I could hold you once again,
Look in your eyes as you cry into your hands,
Sing soft lullabies as you sink into my skin.
