ALKALINE TRIO - Dead On The Floor lyrics

rate me

Like two ships in the night,

We're colliding and sinking,

Into the black sea of our love.

We never get it past the portal logical thinking,

Lost outta the stars up above.

Now my heart is a mess.

Words sing in my chest,

Not a clue how you got through the door.

But I'm glad that you came,

No regret and no shame,

As I'm lying here dead on the floor.

I took a blind leap of faith,

It's not catching and burning,

With my heart fast asleep in your bed.

I got on the ground safe

But with my insides turning,

And a picture of you in my head.

As I wandered away deep in shock and dismay,

In a daze, just repeating your name.

Well the fact of the matter is both our hearts shatter

into goddamn misery.

When you asked me if I'd stay forever,

Guess you meant just for the week.

We felt so good together,

It was way too good to be.

When I left you there early that morning,

My darling,

I told you that I'd miss you so.

I got on that plane with my heart soaring,

But now it's falling like snow.

And like two ships in the night.

We're colliding and sinking,

Into the black sea of our love.

We never get it past the portal logical thinking,

Lost outta the stars up above.

Now my heart is a mess.

Words sing in my chest,

Not a clue how you got through the door.

But I'm glad that you came,

No regret and no shame,

As I'm lying here dead on the floor.

When you asked me if I'd stay forever,

Guess you meant just for the week.

We felt so good together,

It was way too good to be.

When I left you there early that morning,

My darling,

I told you that I'd miss you so,

I got on that plane with my heart soaring,

But now it's falling like snow.

Now it's falling like snow.

Now it's falling like snow.

And now it's falling like snow.
