you know my arse looks good in this
Let's dance you said
and I was too high
to question the ramifications
of the way I could get
inside your head
or lose my own
Because lets be honest
uninhibited is the only
good version of me
it's who I want to be
when the daylight hits
and the drugs wear off
But I don't know how
to be this person
without these tendrils of guilt
wrapping themselves
around my mouth
and pulling me back
into the dark
Because I mean more
than I say
and I don't mean
a fucking word of it
depending on what time
of day you catch me
and whether or not
I'm feeling sorry
or not sorry at all
And I'm not going to pretend
like we didn't mean
every single word we let slip
like a spell cast
to awaken a past life
or a next life
or any life
that isn't this one
Because I'm always
going to want to know you
but the lines have been long drawn
and the lines of us
could never have been drawn
any other way
I get high
you say let's dance
and in these hours
long before daylight
I say why not
and I was too high
to question the ramifications
of the way I could get
inside your head
or lose my own
Because lets be honest
uninhibited is the only
good version of me
it's who I want to be
when the daylight hits
and the drugs wear off
But I don't know how
to be this person
without these tendrils of guilt
wrapping themselves
around my mouth
and pulling me back
into the dark
Because I mean more
than I say
and I don't mean
a fucking word of it
depending on what time
of day you catch me
and whether or not
I'm feeling sorry
or not sorry at all
And I'm not going to pretend
like we didn't mean
every single word we let slip
like a spell cast
to awaken a past life
or a next life
or any life
that isn't this one
Because I'm always
going to want to know you

I get high
you say let's dance
and in these hours
long before daylight
I say why not
