Charles Schlinkert - Be My Own (Bonus Track) lyrics

We never sleep at night But we'll spend the days in bed And you walk down the stairs ever so gingerly Could've lived but I chose to love you instead Fix me your poison, gin for your molly Lime for your bruises and chalk for your holly Tell me you're sleeping I can't if you won't Yeah you could be my own The way that you smile when something pleasant is up in your mind And you put your tiny lips to my ear We could break this old routine, this apartment you and me We could leave this town my dear Rats in your armchair, burrs in your cotton Baby turn my engines from polished to rotten Promise you'll keep me in a box by the phone Yeah you could be my own Would you burn all the crows in my fields? Sing me to sleep You won't ever have to walk, cause my cars just down the block And Japan's only two weeks away if you travel by sea Love where you moving? Heart where you going? Your clothes on the floor, yeah your bruises are showing Airplanes can take you to Paris or Rome But you'll still be my own Bells in the boathouse, champagne and icing It's just like the movies, yeah your parents are crying Our family's all gathered but we're getting stoned Yeah you could be my own I left all her pictures in a box by the road So you could be my own
