Man man - Whalebones lyrics

rate me

He felt her curves surrounding his neck

Like a yoke

He knows

He'll never forget

The way she cut through his bed

Like a snake would bite through a cave of flesh

But he holds her

Though she's broken

He swears he don't care where she's been

He's tired of being human

He wears her close to the bone as though she were his own skin

He shoots from the heart instead of the head

His mouth and his words they rarely connect

He looks to the past and where his tongue's tread

And he knows he meant the opposite

But she holds him

Like an infant

Though it breaks her in half to know he'll wake like a man

Sold on cold indifference

When he reaches for her she's gone

She slips like the wind through blackened sails, but

Who are we to love at all?

And I hope you don't mind

If I hang all of my hopes

I hang all my hopes on this time

Although I've been warned

I'll probably get burned

I'd rather get burned than to not try

I hope you don't mind

If I hang all of my hopes

I hang all of my hopes on this time

'Cause you won't

Let it go<br />

<br />
