Lyrics
Blanket laid out, fading sunlight Made me think That I could spill out of my chest And tell you everything I’m back home now In the mirror, I feel sick I couldn’t stop this And you kept on listening
Taste in my mouth I can’t get out It leaves a stain You linger there And you’ll infect my brain again
One thing keeps me here One thing keeps me intact At least I didn’t kiss you And I can live with that One thing I hold so dear One thing I proudly lack At least I didn’t kiss you And I can live with that At least I didn’t kiss you And I can live with that
Below the cliffs, my untouched lips Collide with rocks You’re up ahead and You are everything I’m not Climb the concrete There’s no bandage for my knees On this bench you look like Pure regret to me
Taste in my mouth I can’t get out It leaves a stain You linger there And you’ll infect my brain again
One thing keeps me here One thing keeps me intact At least I didn’t kiss you And I can live with that One thing I hold so dear One thing I proudly lack At least I didn’t kiss you And I can live with that At least I didn’t kiss you And I can live with that
At least I didn’t kiss you That’s what I tell myself When I look back and see the past And say I’m doing well At least I didn’t kiss you A swing, a perfect miss At least I didn’t kiss you But I still think of it I still think of it
One thing keeps me here One thing keeps me intact At least I didn’t kiss you And I can live with that One thing I hold so dear One thing I proudly lack At least I didn’t kiss you And I can live with that At least I didn’t kiss you And I can live with that Taste in my mouth I can’t get out It leaves a stain You linger there And you’ll infect my brain again
The regret, wistfulness, and painful beauty...lovely, if bittersweet.
