lyrics

Lovely, you know you're on my mind
Been leaping over rooftops just to find you
Lovely, I fear that I've been blind
Cause I can't see the heaven for the sky
If you come with me I'll give you everything I've got
I can only try to separate the truth from secret
I can only try to be the man you wanna fall asleep with
The question was answered, it came as a surprise
She said she'd fall down with me
I wasn't ready for the drop
A foolish decision, it was mine, it was all mine
But you're never alone, she whispered
You are me, you're my anchor
Valentine, you could never be alone
Save for every waking moment
When you close your eyes I'll be there to greet you
It's alright, see all these foreign faces
It's a ghost town when you just wanna call it home
Wanna find some peace and
Take your time when you finally read this letter
I want for every word to be burned into your skull
Repeat it when you're sleeping
The letter unfolds, he reaches for his glasses
And repeats each word with a swift and sick precision

----------

If I must be a cancer to be near you, I will
Masquerading as an immigrant just to taste your breath, I can
If I must be a spider to creep near you, I will
Crawling around on all eight 'til you appreciate
The web that I built you
If I could be an enemy while you're a friend of me, I'll win
Second nature gets the best of me and I begin to see a trend
And time ruins all of my best laid plans
And time rips all of my best sewn seams, yeah
I could be your favorite toy up until you've worn me out again
You're my sacrificial lamb, the blood that keeps the blessings flowing
If we're meant to be pure gold, why are my insides rotting?
If love is more than just a word
Tell me, where will you sleep tonight?
Is this really all I am, a life left to rot and ruin?
If this is all that I have to give
Everything is wrought and rotten
There's not really much to breathe here, everything's ruined
There's not really much to live for except getting older
I could be your favorite toy up until you've worn me out again
You're my sacrificial lamb, the blood that keeps the blessings flowing
If we're meant to be pure gold, why are my insides rotting?
If love is more than just a word
Tell me, where will you sleep tonight?
