You need to jump
You need to jump
You need to jump
Hold my thoughts in the palm of your hand.
Drunk on the starlight, we spun around
Giggling like thieves.
Rolled up glass smiles
In fine silks and canvas
Threw them in
Threw off our covers, crossed our eyes and our hearts with places where we don't belong.

And even the ghosts, they want to unpin the melody from their throats

Shorthand for my best intentions
Electric shocks scrambling my veins
Bit in deep into my cheek
To taste you in my blood
And all the somethings danced into my eyes and said
Your artillery has
Failed.

You need to sprint
You need to sprint
You need to sprint
Clutching hours in your raw fingertips
Drinking cloud covers
We fell apart
Giggling like paramedics
Rolled up plastic kisses
In damask and fine linen
Threw them in
Threw off our silence
With train engines and spun glass
And places where we don't belong.

And even the ghosts they want to unpin the melody from their throats

Shorthand for my best intentions
Electric shocks scrambling my veins
Bit in deep into my cheek
To taste you in my blood
And all the somethings danced into my eyes and said
Your artillery has
Failed.

There's fear radiating from our florescence
And battery acid in our IVs
That's rewiring our circuits.
Rewind the tape that plays before our eyes
I'm too tired to repeat, play me back, play me back.
I'm too tired to repeat, play me back, play me back.

Shorthand for my best intentions
Electric shocks scrambling my veins
Bit in deep into my cheek
To taste you in my blood
And all the somethings danced into my eyes and said
Your artillery has
Failed.
