Pocketknife

Dangerous when you drink
 But I'm not scared 'cause I've known you forever
 Oh I'm not scared 'cause I've known you forever
 And you're looking for a fight
 So I take away your pocketknife
 So I take away your pocketknife
 And you're nodding off on me
 Oh, my shoulders carry the weight
 Oh, my shoulders carry the weight
 And you cry at the end of the night before you fell asleep
 And when you die, heaven will burn
 No one sets a fire like yours
 When the comets hit the earth
 You're asleep with bourbon on your shirt
 Oh you're sober as a flower (rising with the sun)
 And you're drunk like hell's thorns (burning up again)
 Oh you're lovely like your mother (saint among men)
 But your demons will return
 Your fingers shake like earthquakes
 And you're tearing us apart
 Oh you're tearing us apart
 And I hope for better mornings
 Where we remember how we start
 Where we remember how we start
 And the world alight and heads pounding
 I'll find you in the dark
 When you die, heaven will burn
 No one sets a fire like yours
 When the comets hit the earth
 You're asleep with bourbon on your shirts
 Oh you're sober as a flower (rising with the sun)
 And you're drunk like hell's thorns (burning up again)
 Oh you're lovely like your mother (saint among men)
 But your demons will return
