I can't but help to see your bones
As they turn into a fine powder.
And the blood rushes to your face.
And now we're moving at a faster pace.

Kerosene lamps light our way.
But the cigarette smoke blocks our endeavors.
Moves us to the surface.
Moves us to the memories.
When all we need to do is forget.
When all we need to do is repent.

Jumpstart your heart.
And take back the part
Of you that never stayed to watch the ending.

Chorus:
I just want to remember
Remember the pile of flannel shirts
You left behind in my room.

I just want to remember
Remember the way you walk
With a widened grin like no one gets you like I do.
Like I do.

--
But angel, I've got to admit.
I've got to confess.
Your breath on my neck,
It leaves me for dead everytime.

And I'm so terrified, so terrified.
Sitting side by side.
Your words fuel my lungs.
It's all that I need.
It's all that I feed on.

Just tell me I'm not on your mind.
I promise I'll leave this last time.

Chorus x2
--
Yeah we're sinking ships now.
Yeah we're avoiding death now.
You're my one in a million.
So just tell me i'm not on your mind.
I promise I'll leave this last time.
