With those words that I said that I never meant to say
Why can't we put all these tears to bed?
Tonight's the night where everything will fall around you
This house enchanted, velvet carpet sprees
(Your certainty gets the best of me)
(But, it brings out the worst in me)
Your lonely hand did all to toss the key
(It's a sin to let your words caress me)
(So count your blessings, it's already done)
Isn't this the picture perfect moment?
Bottle up my tears in a snapshot motion
Every window is a different story
Shut it then it moves on it like never happened
(And you cut through my heart)
Can't feel the ink on my skin
(And you scratch out my eyes)
Can't fight the tar in my lungs
(This is the last knife you'll ever put into my back)
Can't taste the sugar from the salt on my bones
In a single picture frame, you and I explain
The safety involved in open doors
So record our memories with windshields kissing trees
And know that tonight was worth dying for
Thanks for second guessing, pin this rose on me
(My only friends in this world are strangers)
(They don't know me well enough to put my heart in danger)
Forever is a promise that you could not keep
(Thanks for spreading me a different story)
(A parliament puff covers all of my lies)
I'll burn the letters while you burn our bridges
Sink the ship after you lock me in
So do your best to point the trigger finger
At all my bullet holes and safety pins
(And you cut through my heart)
Can't feel the ink on my skin
(And you scratch out my eyes)
Can't fight the tar in my lungs
(This is the last knife you'll ever put into my back)
Can't taste the sugar from the salt on my bones
In a single picture frame, you and I explain
The safety involved in open doors
So record our memories with windshields kissing trees
And know that tonight was worth dying for
Shaking all night
I'm shaking all night
I hope you saw the light
I hope you saw the light, I
You spend years walking down these aisles
Empty pews never mean so much to you
And I'd like it if you took your time
And I'd like it if you took your chance now
To reach your hand out
I'll reach my hand out
They'll brush in time for you to realize
That empty words can bring all that the world can sing
So I hope that it's all there, waiting for me
Call me something, call me curious
Just so I know you're fine
Just so I know I spoke in time
(My dream came true with ice on all your roads)
(Shhhhh)
Everything that you wanted
You got it without even trying
So let's just play pretend
And you'll have to try to make this work
You know me better than to point the trigger finger
At all my bullet holes and safety pins
You know better than to point your finger at me
