Wax

(album: Across - 2014)

Head clasped in my hands
Like a cradle boy
Rock-a-baby down to sleep
Cheap wine
Sweet wine syrup
On the table
And it ain't affecting me
Toes gone cold in a cotton sock
Shake it off 'til the numb stops
I want you to know
I can only take us far as you'll go

It's no words no more just
Bodies dipped in wax
We're just hoping to crack
Still chipping at that

I could light a match you know
I could let it go
Let it go
Let it go
You'll only see my face
When you're alone (alone)

Misplaced eyes at the wrong time
I'm on the wrong side
I sit quiet
Wish I had another drink
Can't comprehend how we could think
This is right
Still waters never shaken up
No reason we should call it love
Not the same old song
Not close
Too close
To see
What's wrong

It's no words no more just
Bodies dipped in wax we're
Just hoping to crack
Somehow chipping at that

I could light a match you know
I could let it go
Let it go
Let it go
You'll only see my face
When you're alone (alone)

I could light a match you know
I could let it go
Let it go
Let it go
You'll only see my face
When you're

Stop
Don't I know you?
You used to be the one
Always playing on the railroad tracks
Riding your bike past my house
I know you
Always riding your bike past my house
Stop, stop
Wait
Don't I know
Don't I know you?
You're always kicking rocks
In the winn dixie parking lot
