Figure 8

Breathe your smoke into my lungs
In the back of the car with you I stare into the sun
Still not too old to die young
But lovers hold on to everything
And lovers hold on to anything
I chase your love around a figure 8
I need you more than I can take
You promise forever and a day
And then you take it all away
And then you take it all away
Place a kiss on my cheekbone
And you vanish me I'm buried in the snow
But something tells me I'm not alone
The lovers hold on to everything
And lovers hold on to anything
I chase your love around a figure 8
I need you more than I can take
You promise forever and a day
And then you take it all away
And then you take it all away
So lovers hold on to everything
And lovers hold on to anything
So lovers hold on to everything
And lovers hold on to anything
I chase your love around a figure 8
I need you more than I can take
You promise forever and a day
And then you take it all away
I chase your love around a figure 8
I need you more than I can take
You promise forever and a day
And then you take it all away
