Shivers

Time slips away
Your honeyed words leave craters in the day
Oh, time's drifting away
As you blink, the nighttime follows
Chasing your tender tomorrow
Oh, such a kiss
Lips like this, two bloody hues
I'll pray each peck leaves a bruise

Oh, put me in your palm and squeeze
Axe and shape my memory
Clutch me like a rosary, and rip off my jeans
Lover, let's make history
We'll melt, and glue, and stick, and weave
'Til it's no longer you or me
Just bodies spilling breathlessly

Heroine, hеroine, where'vе you been?
I'm still catching up on all that wasted oxygen
Heroine, heroine, let me in
I can show you rivers where the water's never still

Walked you back from Merchant's corner
Rushing over beat brick mortar
Forking though the city like a street
Gentle beauty in plate armour
Watched you peel the steel from 'round you
Back revealing beauty as yet unseen
I was falling, falling as you giggled through the din

Put me in your palm and squeeze (She sends shivers through the night)
Axe and shape my memory (Shakes the stars)
Clutch me like your rosary (In twenty-thousand skies)
And rip off my jeans
Lover, let's make history (She's the rib and she's the spine)
We'll melt, and glue, and stick, and weave
(See my world resting in her eyes)
'Til it's no longer you or me
Just bodies spilling breathlessly

(She sends shivers through the night) I could feel it then
(Shakes the stars of twenty-thousand skies)
I think it's better this way
(She's the rib and she's the spine) I could feel it then
(See my world shining in her eyes) Time slips, we drift, I fall
