Flower Face - Linger lyrics

Bare legs in the snow, you cut my hair And told me to get some sleep I don't want to go anywhere without you I don't want to go anywhere at all The snow filled the air, an icing sugar dream I wrote my name on the window You closed all the doors as the lights went out Living by candlelight during the storm They all shake their heads, write poisonous words In ink that stains my skin Though I fall apart so easily, you keep your head Rea**uring and promising me You said "i will take care of you, I don't care if it's not allowed Say what they will, we don't have to stick around We can go anywhere, we can go anyplace that you want Oh please baby don't cry, slow down and hold my hand I love you, believe me, but your search for a better man Has left you so bitter, shaken by the winter wind And I know that you're scared, I know that you're tired of this Afraid of the thoughts you can't get out of your head You never expected, you never see it coming at all." Your voice on the phone is the only thing that I've known To be pure The words you speak circulate and they keep my heart awake I am sure Though your memories exceed mine, you were a child in another time I know what i need Right now i'm waiting for you, it's all i know how to do Regardless of what may follow, we'll proceed We can run away in the night, escape it all, everything Go to New York or straight up to outer space Make love in the clouds, sleep soundly among the angels We have suitcases filled with road maps and dollar bills Train tickets, coffee cups and decades of time to k** I want you right now, I want you 'til the day that I die There's a war in the sky, gunfire and burning flags But nothing compares to the battle my heart has waged If i die by your hand, I will die with your flag at my side
