lyrics

I think everything about you is beautiful,
And I get if that scares you away,
The way you sip on your cigarette, light up like Juliet,
Bringing the sun to my day.

I love how you look in the morning,
Your lazy mouth reaching for mine.
Your half-whispered pillow-talk,
Sweet cotton hipster frock, touch I've been looking to find.

If it's only a moment, I'll cage it and hold it,
And solemnly swear to not try and control it,
'cause everyone breaks free in time.

She's a rag-doll, green-eyed addiction,
A tangled-gold fairy tale end,
She's the turn-me-on swear word you wish that you'd first heard
When your broken heart needed to mend.

She's a flower-shoe'd, dance-with-me-darlin',
And I danced her right into the ground,
I might sit here recalling, 'cause she's gone and I'm falling,
And it's making a sickening sound.

She's a sing-to-me, take-me-or-leave-me,
A hold-me-I'll-make-it-all-right,
She's a porcelain smile, and the heart of a child,
She's the chords to my chorus tonight.
