Buddy Wakefield - We Were Emergencies lyrics

We can stick anything into the fog y'all Make it look like a ghost But tonight let's not become tragedies We are not funeral homes With propane tanks in our windows Looking like cemeteries Cemeteries are just the Earth's way of not letting go Let go Tonight, poets let's turn our wrists so far backwards The razor blades in our pencil tips Can't get a good angle on all that beauty inside Step into this With your airplane parts Move forward And repeat after me with your heart I no longer need you to f** me as hard as I hated myself Make love to me Like you know I am better than the worst thing I ever did Go slow I'm new to this But I have seen nearly every city from a rooftop Without jumping I have realized that the moon Did not have to be full for us to love it That we are not tragedies Stranded here beneath it That if our hearts really broke Every time we fell from love I'd be able to offer you confetti by now But hearts don't break, y'all They bruise and get better We were never tragedies We were emergencies You call 9–1–1 Tell them I'm having a fantastic time Tell them I'm having a fantastic time Go on
