I need a place to clear my head
But I lost my way somewhere between your neck and shoulders
And I made a point of writing on my white flags
“You will never take me alive” … but I was wrong.
It’s like I’m backed into a corner
and she keeps hitting below the belt
And so I will try and acquiesce
‘Cause the game is over and I just lost
So now I’m waiting to exhale
With a gun pressed to my head
So now I’m waiting to exhale
With a gun pressed to my head
So I’ll black my lungs off of second hand cigarette smoke
And I’ll drink until I forget what she took from me
Because I would leave her again a million times
It would never amount to losing my best friend
That girl is poison and everything tastes like blood
Everything tastes like blood
Everything tastes like blood
But I swear, but I swear that it’s all in my head
It’s all in my head
It’s all in my head
It’s all in my head
It’s in my head, it’s in my…
If you change your mind you know where to find me
But I don’t think I’ll trust you again
Until then I’m waiting for a heart beat
With a smoking gun in your hand

I said “don’t count your fears, my dear, you know they’re worthless
And never look back, the sins of your past have faded to black
At the foot of your grave, I will take your place”
And she said
“Don’t hold your breath, because I’ve fallen too far to ever be saved
My boy, you know I love you but I am not worthy
Of hearing you say my name”
I just waited, slowly silence took the room,
Then I smiled, took her gently by the wrist, I said
“Princess, the wind will howl, the waves will crash,
But I am here, and I refuse to let you drown”
I refuse to let you drown
We will feel the rain wash away our sins
No more pain, no more suffering, and
No more will the grass blades cut through my skin
We have been redeemed
I see her everywhere, everywhere
I feel her like sun beams pressed to my skin
And the rest is noise
And to everybody else, this is me giving you a gun
And daring you to shoot
So wipe that smile right off my face, if you can
Because I swear, there’s nothing better than to kiss my best friend
So don’t be scared, princess, may I have this dance?
