I breathe you in with smoke in the backyard lights
(Backyard lights)
we used to laugh until we choked into the wasted nights
(Wasted nights)
It was the best time of my life, but now I sleep alone
(Sleep alone)
So don't, don't, don't wake me up, 'cause my thrill is gone
(Say I'm wrong)
In the sunset turning red behind the smoke
Forever and alone
Yeah!And you've gone and sewn me to this bed
The taste of you and me
Will never leave my lips again under the blinding rain
(Blinding rain)
I wanna hold your hand so tight, I'm gonna break my wrist
(Break my wrist)
And when the vultures sing tonight, I'm gonna join right inI'll sing along (Oh, oh, oh)
'Cause I don't know any other song
I'll sing along, but I'm barely hanging on.
No, I'm barely hanging on.
By the time you're hearing this, I'll already be gone
And now there's nothing to do
But scream at the drunken moonThis isn't fair! (No!)
Don't you try to blame this on me
My love for you was bulletproof
But you're the one who shot me
And goddamn it, I can barely say your name,
So I'll try to write it and fill the pen with blood from the sink
Woah, oh
But don't just say it, you should sing my name
Pretend that it's a song, 'cause forever it's yours
And we can sing this on the way home.
