Perish

It was your palms and your feet and every single thing between We were an easy thing to do, I enthused over you But melancholia, insomnia, saudade, they had me It's hard to forget I'm looking back on a time When every beat in your heart was beating for mine You had the world at your feet, and you kicked it back at me I had a hole in my heart, and you didn't have the decency to wait and see Between the devil and the deep blue sea Between the angels and infinity There is a hideaway, a place to be for me And when I'm better, you can set me free It's safe to say you were mine, a songbird to a morning sunrise And how I miss my spotless mind, I lost it to the twilight Much like our love, a songbird always flies without regret And even after everything, we perished when the sun set You had the world at your feet, and you kicked it back at me I had a hole in my heart, and you didn't have the decency to wait and see Between the devil and the deep blue sea Between the angels and infinity There is a hideaway, a place to be for me And when I'm better, you can set me free Every blind spot and every nicety I learned about your heart, I watched them perish before me
