Big Apple

Well, all the things I've never known
are things that lie outside my door,
I'll just leave them there

I could lie asleep in bed,
but I'll just sit with you instead,
and talk about your day

You'll cock your head and tell me,
that you're glad you stopped on by
I'll smile back and ask if you want to stay the night
I hope that you say yes, 'cause I need you by my side

Your lips are so familiar,
oh but now you've learned to linger,
come close to me

Time will heal all wounds, I heard them say,
it's facing each and every day that builds the soul
What was the word you used for me? Oh, disagreeable
But I'm sure that you'd agree with me, my heart is rather full
If love is what you want, well I hope that love is mine

I'm counting freckles on your body, I hope to God this isn't sin, because if sin can be this beautiful, then we've done each other in
Now our lips are locked together, our night is coming to a close, and I swear that I could die right here, but I've got to let you know
That I'll love you til forever comes, and you're everything I need, and I hope these words will be the light always leading back to me

But since you're already here....I think you should just stay here

Get the fire burning
Shelter from the dark
Vapors in the night sky
Sneaking slowly by
Balancing a pistol
One finger at a halt
Running through the forest
We're looking for the salt

Wrote a note for Valentine
Sealed with alcohol
Doused her home with gasoline
Goddamn, it burned so bright
She said I was a vampire
She'd never tell a soul
I sealed her lips with barbed wire
She saw the fire

Streets are running through the trees
And now they're slick with blood
Everclear runs through me
What's been said must now be done

Narcissism chooses me
I'll probably never win
Find a pasture for the herd
My indiscretions are stampeding out of control

The blaze knows exactly where she went to tell
A single reminder of the moonlight's spell
The box of matches screams with delight
As a flame springs forth to encompass the night

Wrote a note for Valentine
Sealed with alcohol
Doused her home with gasoline
Goddamn, it burned so bright
She said I was a vampire
She'd never tell a soul
I sealed her lips with barbed wire
She saw the fire
She saw the fire
