Nightlab - The Measure of Things lyrics

Oh lover, don't turn away The future's bangin' on your door Won't you just let it in With teeth sinkin' in Beggin' you to sin The sirens sing, so say it now Before the candle's out Before the clocks tick off their arms And our memories are sold When hope was still afloat Now we make love by rote We could make it right We'd save our souls tonight And with a word I'd take back all the sh** I've done And if you think it's fine Will you lay your head next to mine And breathe out the sickness trapped inside your lungs Oh lover, with world aflame This winter's freezin' up your charms In cold I have not known It drags us into snow This heavy load we tow Our tripping tongues take time to moan The spells we used to speak The push and pull and do it now Of boiling summer days Why do you look that way Your eyes never were so grey And we could make it right We'd save our souls tonight And with a word I'd take back all the sh** I've done And if you think it's fine Will you lay your head next to mine And breathe out the sickness trapped inside your lungs We could make it right We'd save our souls tonight And with a word I'd take back all the sh** I've done And if you think it's fine Will you lay your head next to mine And breathe in the goodness that's inside my soul
