XO

The chase, the ride
Smiling as you twist the knife
Here's to another dangerous night

The kick, the rush, the high
The middle of the night
You fake a smile
You never get to say the things
You swore you'd say today

They laugh, they kiss, as if
It's really come to this
Resist, it's bliss
Well fuck it I admit
I admit I'm scared to death
I won't commit

The love you swear to hate
I never take the blame for my mistakes
Promise me you'll never ask me
Who I was before

The trip, the strip, the smile
The coloured imagery
Oh stay a while
The girl inside the dressing gown's
Complexion's too distinct

That name I never know
Maybe there's a danger to your glow
Maybe it's the care free hope
Of a perfect soul
On the day they stole the light

The calm before the storm
Remember how you burst in through the door
Lying on her bed, you said
'Hope you get better, get happy'

The stare, the tilted head
The 'I don't wanna' be alone'
I swear, I only ever act like this
'Cos I don't know how to say

That name I never know
Maybe there's a danger to your glow
Maybe it's the care free hope
Of a perfect soul
On the day they stole the light (x2)
