Slash/Burn

(album: A Man Alive - 2016)

A little slash, a little burn
A little never to return

And then, and then

I break the back of the old days
I wake from sleep to watch you stay
Look at my posture, how I sway
But I am an arrow to you, babe

In my youth I grew used to the truth didn't I
That they moved like they could lose a love like mine
In my youth I grew used to the truth didn't I
That they moved like they could lose a love like mine

And then, and then

I've spent my life saving, by design
Do you figure you could use
A love like mine

A little slash, a little burn
A little never to return
I break the back of the old days
I wake from sleep to watch you stay
Look at my posture, how I sway
But I am an arrow to you, babe
Look at my posture, how I sway
But I am an arrow to you, babe
