Say You're Mine

It's a steep fly down from this nest of love

It's proving much faster than the climb

Your search light has found me here bloated and lost

Drunk on the fruit, of my very own vines

Your first misstep on this windy path

The alarm bell's ringing in my ears

The labored bed of my checkered past

Still hot on my neck, after all these years

I burn it all down

Until you are holding the sky

I give it all up, just to say

Just to make you mine

I hovered and I wavered it over long enough

It was the darkest and loneliest days

And the troubles in my head made the delicate curtain

Had the powder fish carried away

Carried away

There's a silver line

Strung around the cloud

The range on the eastern sky

Evicted sun but it's rain again

These are the days that I feel I'm beginning to fly

I lay down a blackbird in a comfortable nest

I petted it's dark feathers down

See it's tiny heart beating hard in it's chest

The humming of it's wing's such a heart breaking sound

I burn it all down

Until you are holding the sky

I give it all up, just to say

Just to make you mine

Just to make you mine
