Your Darkest Eyes Lyrics

that smoke, it moves just like sweet velvet
it lures me in till i'm drinking to kill the pain.
i'm trying to stay out of the fire, but the liquor, it won't let me
the only thing it's killing now is me.
your darkest eyes and pale skin are always on me.
black fingernail polish is chipping off again.
on my mind just like a death threat
or maybe a death wish.
kill me anytime i'm ready for it.

no one else was ever half this beautiful
and no two hearts were ever half what ours was whole
desperate like the rain on your midnight window sill
you said ''i love you'' and i know that's what you meant
i know that's what you meant.
there's a holy grail of the simple life led somewhere
in the blankets and trees between you and tennessee
st. peter's in a river running out to homer sea
where the leaves can break your heart
and the waves might wash me clean
no one else was ever half this beautiful
and no two hearts were ever half what ours was whole
desperate like the rain on your midnight window sill
you said ''i love you'' and i know that's what you meant
i know that's what you meant.
