Perish

It was your palms and your feet

And every single thing between

We were an easy thing to do

I enthused over you

But melancholia

Insomnia

Saudade

They had me

It's hard to forget I'm looking back on a time

When every beat in your heart was beating for mine

You had the world at your feet

And you kicked it back at me

I had a hole in my heart

And you didn't have the decency to wait and see

Between the devil and the deep blue sea

Between the angels and infinity

There is a hideaway, a place to be for me

And when I'm better you can set me free

It's safe to say that you were mine

A songbird to a morning sunrise

How I miss my spotless mind

I lost it to the twilight

Much like our love

A songbird always flies without regret

And even after everything

We perished when the sun set

You had the world at your feet

And you kicked it back at me

I had a hole in my heart

And you didn't have the decency to wait and see

Between the devil and the deep blue sea

Between the angels and infinity

There is a hideaway, a place for me

And only when I'm better you can set me free

Every blind spot, and every nicety

I learned about your heart

I watched them perish before me
