Honey Like

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

He's holding my hand

The bees are buzzing

Honey-like, dancing

The sweat of heaven

Is dripping from him

Honey-like

Here comes the sting

I'm living my life

Half in a dream

Honey like, driving

The sky is falling

I can't let them see

Because my honey like

And the people and places that pass us by

Reflections of a life that was never there

For you and I

And I know you don't believe it and neither do I

But tonight you know I need it

So sweet and honey-like

So close your eyes

I'll be kicking and screaming

'Till the sky gets light

Close your eyes

And blood will spill

As I drink you dry

So close your eyes

And it's the sweat of heaven

So sweet and honey-like

Close your eyes

I thought I was flying

But maybe I'm dying tonight

And so it begins

The bee's gotta sting

Honey-like, bleeding

But I couldn't help letting you in

So honey-like

And the people and places that pass us by

Reflections of a life that was never there

For you and I

And I know you don't believe it and neither do I

But tonight you know I need it

So sweet and honey-like

So close your eyes

I'll be kicking and screaming

'Till the sky gets light

Close your eyes

And blood will spill

As I drink you dry

So close your eyes

And it's the sweat of heaven

So sweet and honey-like

Close your eyes

I thought I was flying

But maybe I'm dying tonight

It's harder to leave him then say

I don't believe you

Though you sent me running

I always had this coming

You're holding my hand

And someway I understand

That there's beauty behind these things

So close your eyes

Close your eyes

I thought I was dying

But maybe I'm flying tonight

So close your eyes

I'll be kicking and screaming

'Till the sky gets light

Maybe I'm flying tonight

Close your eyes

Maybe I'm dying tonight

Close your eyes

And it's the sweat of heaven

So sweet and honey-like

Maybe I'm dying tonight

Close your eyes

Maybe I'm dying tonight
