Hawk and Dove - Gunpowder Heart lyrics

rate me

She said this love is like a bullet

With initials carved along the side,

And the moon is just the whole it engraves

When her gun powder explodes in my face.

You know I’d give you anything it takes

To be an astronaut, construction worker

And fill it with everything we make.

With curses and fights and love like meteor dice

And love like the fire he rained

Love like the rail on a fake trail.

But I can never give you words like Romeo!

I wish I could paint down the avenues!

But instead all I got is this old crippled heart

It says crippled words that never kept it safe from the stars.

I dream I melted to your face

One more dance in your embrace

I think I would sleep so hard the guards would arrive

To wash up the dreams, to drown out the lies,

To finally make it right, to finally make it right!
