My Lover The Floodlight

I've never been much for

Using words as a conduit

I've never been a great boy

But boy, I'll put my mind to it

And oh, you startled me so bad

But maybe when I'm done with this song

You'll be gone

Or, maybe you'll be drawn to it

Girl, you know better

Than to win me with a bracelet

I'm a sucker for the smart ones

But boy, I wasn't braced for this

A drop-dead, turn your head

"10" with proper intellect

I am sensitive

I was meant for this

I saw the way

That you were workin' the sunlight

Ivory skin, it paints a picture

As our bodies collide

In the sun, where I'm from

Just to make sure that we're alive

In the rain, you're an angel

In a snowstorm you're a sunbeam

Cause love came out of nowhere

And drove away the dark in me

I walked along the shoreline

Where the elements collide

It made me think of alcohol

How odd, but how the different sides

Of drunks, of drunks, and pretty girls

Collapse in a caleidoscope

Of colors and lies; their eyes were blind

I guess we tried.

Girl, you know you're weaker

In your head than in your heart

And I understand your "weaker-thans"

But weak is sure a start.

I'll carry you, I'll marry you

And girl I'll be sure to bury you

We're electric,

We're a testament.

I saw the way

That you were workin' the sunlight

Ivory skin, it paints a picture

As our bodies collide

In the sun, where I'm from

Just to make sure that we're alive

In the rain, you're an angel

In a snowstorm you're a sunbeam

Cause love came out of nowhere

And drove away the dark in me.
