how to start a fire (better to have loved and lost than to wake up next to you ever day)

under the covers, it was like a puzzle falling into place,
pieces of you attached to pieces of me and we're floating in space
watching stars explode with every kiss
and planets fall extinct with every "oh... miss..."

it's a long drive back, it's a long drive back
(stay up so i can bring you down)
and it's a long drive back, it's a long drive back
(stay wired so i can calm you down)
it's a long drive back, it's a long drive back
(stay tight so i can ring you out)
it's a long drive back...

under the blankets we shared all our secrets
"nothing can hurt us here" i said
too bad we're both just liars, and sinners
and i was just a vessel for your sixth
"so oh, go see him miss..."

it's a long drive back, it's a long drive back
(stay up so i can bring you down)
and it's a long drive back, it's a long drive back
(stay wired so i can calm you down)
it's a long drive back, it's a long drive back
(stay tight so i can ring you out)
it's a long drive back...

if our mouths were missles we'd be locked away
if our hands were razors we'd cut through our names
our bodies were weapons and we're designed
to bring this place down, cross all the lines
just to get to you, to you, to you
i hope this gets to you, to you, to you

stay up so i can bring you down
(dreams only last one night)
i just want to hold you down
(dreams only last one night)
stay up so i can bring you down
(dreams only last one night)
i just want to hold you down

i'll hang from your words, your baited breath
fall to my knees whenever she says
compliment the mess with baby's breath
