Your Darkest Eyes

That smoke, it moves just like sweet velvet
 It lures me in till I'm drinking to kill the pain
 Trying to stay out of a fight 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 death wish
 Kill me anytime I'm ready for it
 No one else was ever half this beautiful
 No two hearts were ever half what ours was whole, 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 a simple life led somewhere
 In the blankets of trees between you and Tennessee
 St. Peter's in a river running out to Homer's sea
 Where the leaves can break your heart
 And the waves might wash me clean
 No one else was ever half this beautiful
 No two hearts were ever half what ours was whole, whole
 Desperate like the rain on your midnight window sill
 You said I love you and I know that's what you meant
 Hey, I know that's what you meant
