Old Gray – Her Tongue Was Tattooed On The Back Of Her Teeth lyrics
[Verse 1]
And every moment I lose without you
Fighting interference between my mind and the tip of my tongue
I am lost
Tripping over my words, over insanity
Racking my every thought, drowning this conviction behind an apathetic mask
A numberless cigarette lit twixt my fingers
Burning like the fire that beauty held in your eyes
Piercing me like a conscience, shattering the glass of memory reflecting my imperfections
Smoldering bridges sinking behind me in hopes for a second chance
So embrace me, dreams, for you are mine
Awake to a whirlwind staying swift through my fingers, my dream of you was all I had
So give me a heart where I can't feel
For all I need in my life is that which eludes me, that which I let get away
Remaining a haunting thought of what could have been
[Chorus]
Can you feel my beating heart?
Buried beneath the backyard, the place we used to live
Where we stood on our own. We were rooted in this home
Where we exhaled our last breath and watched the summer fade to blackness
[Verse 2]
We held our hands tight and spoke softly of the distance, as to which our hearts were to lie
And the night kissed us softly on the cheek and we each
The trees bowed before our knees as to exact the point of growing fond of the memories we would never let die
[Chorus]
[Outro]
I will let you go if you want me to
And every moment I lose without you
Fighting interference between my mind and the tip of my tongue
I am lost
Tripping over my words, over insanity
Racking my every thought, drowning this conviction behind an apathetic mask
A numberless cigarette lit twixt my fingers
Burning like the fire that beauty held in your eyes
Piercing me like a conscience, shattering the glass of memory reflecting my imperfections
Smoldering bridges sinking behind me in hopes for a second chance
So embrace me, dreams, for you are mine
Awake to a whirlwind staying swift through my fingers, my dream of you was all I had
So give me a heart where I can't feel
For all I need in my life is that which eludes me, that which I let get away
Remaining a haunting thought of what could have been
[Chorus]
Can you feel my beating heart?
Buried beneath the backyard, the place we used to live
Where we stood on our own. We were rooted in this home
Where we exhaled our last breath and watched the summer fade to blackness
[Verse 2]
We held our hands tight and spoke softly of the distance, as to which our hearts were to lie
And the night kissed us softly on the cheek and we each
The trees bowed before our knees as to exact the point of growing fond of the memories we would never let die
[Chorus]
[Outro]
I will let you go if you want me to
