Met him last Saturday
A devil in tweed
Coiled like a snake in the high weeds
Bombed as I was
I was easy to please
Holding my hand while he leads
Sunday was everything
I knew it would be
Sultry as summer between sheets
Hungover, helpless
And happy that he’s
Holding my head as I breathe
Eyes closed, so I couldn’t see
I’ve ridden rivers
And chased down the sun
Brought all my dreams to their knees
I cut my teeth on some challenging meat
None of it really seemed true
Then there came you
Woke up late Monday
Alone in the dark
Boxed up and buried with a warm heart
I scratched a little just
To feel for a lock
Holding my breath til it stops
I held my breath til it stopped
I’ve ridden rivers
And chased down the sun
Brought the damn world to its knees
I held my own at the end of a gun
Thought I believed what was true
Then there came you
Don’t need to sleep now
So neither will you
Don’t need to breathe now
So neither will you
Don’t gotta eat, but I’m still gonna chew
Where do you think I should start?
Maybe I’ll lead with the heart
Blood flows like rivers
And blots out the sun
You’ll watch it all from your knees
I cry for vengeance, so tender and sweet
What else do I have to do?
I’m coming for you
I’m coming for you
I’m coming for you
