lyrics

I watched you from afar
The summer sun reflecting off your olive skin
A cloud of smoke from your cigar paints a picture in my mind of regret of what might have been
But I’m not one to wait
For things I want to fall into place
I need to taste your lips, touch your face
How can I make you see how happy we could be?

Summer faded, by the time the leaves were crisp beneath our feet
You were my only one
My mind intoxicated by the love you make
I’m drowning and I don’t want no help from anyone

Lay me down
Tell me that you’ll never leave me
Hold me close
I don’t know how to be alone

Then it comes and is it any wonder?
I see you hide your face at the crazy things I say
I don’t know how to keep myself from going under
Can’t keep these demons at bay…anymore

I hear you say, what happened to my girl
Now all that’s left is the ghost of a smile
I hear you whisper, what happened to my girl
I swear to god I catch a glimpse once in a while
Once in a while

But I’d kiss your poison lips a thousand times
If I knew that it would bring you back to me
So I’ll sit here with these pills to ease my god-forsaken mind
And write the words that I know you’ll never see

Sweetheart, come

I watched you from afar
The summer sun reflecting off your olive skin
