lyrics

SomewhereI’m drunkandtoasting, soon to slip into fuzzy regret. Somewherethere’sakiss that tastes likeacigareteandaBeck’s.
Sometimes I beg for reminders.
Som ething Iknow I’l lneverforget.
In the dark of my heart I long for spark and flash ofacarcrash...
We should have known better than to shine. We stare straight into the sun and
burn ourselves blind.
Somewherethere’satouchthat flirts between a slap and a pet. SomewhereI’vesparedandfalen, knuckles painting red the cement.
Sometimes I beg for reminders.
Som ething Iknow I’l lneverforget.
As real as the scars on my arm, Ilongforsparkandflashofacarcrash...
We should have known better than to shine. (the glare will blind)
We stare straight into the sun
and burn ourselves blind.
So far, so lame.
Too much, too late.
We should have known better than to shine. (the glare will blind)
We stare straight into the sun
and burn ourselves blind.
