Kevin Devine - Your Brushed Her Breath Aside lyrics

Up on the bus, cash in your hand His voice in your head "You can 'til you can't" Your every step leaned like ladder at the edge of the earth You broke a border, k**ed a promise, took apart all the work You held him high and tight He brushed your breath aside He ate your hope alive Dreamt of your love His mouth and his eyes His hair and his hands Complex and alive Said, "I'm a loaner, I'm a rental, I'm a breeze in the heat You can have me for a minute but I'm no one's to keep" You held him high and tight He brushed your breath aside And ate your hope alive It can't be a curse, it can't be a lie It's simpler than that A hole in your life You could canvas every corner, you could leave her a map But if no one's missing, no one's hiding, then no one's coming back She held you high and tight You brushed her breath aside And ate her hope alive
