All the Right Words

Is devotion a drop of blood in the ocean
A twist of lime in your potion
I couldn’t ask for more
Run by clockwork
Turning in stop motion
Pause to fix it when it’s broken
I couldn’t ask for more

Don’t you understand?
I’d rather be there and holding your hand
Why’d you make me leave
This isn’t what I wanted
This isn’t what I planned

All the right words in all the wrong places
All the right words get stuck in my throat
Itchy air between by lungs
Razor blades beneath our eager tongues

We’re holding hands on the beach
Toast to us with cups of bleach
I couldn’t ask for more
A siren song a harpies screech
A flawless treasure beyond reach
I couldn’t ask for more

Don’t you understand?
I’d rather be there and holding your hand
Why’d you make me leave
This isn’t what I wanted
This isn’t what I planned

All the right words in all the wrong places
All the right words get stuck in my throat
Itchy air between by lungs
Razor blades beneath our eager tongues

All the right words in all the wrong places
All the right words get stuck in my throat
Itchy air between by lungs
Razor blades beneath our eager tongues
