The Kill

One of these days

I'm gonna wake up smiling

One of these days

I'm gonna cry

When all of the years start to blend in together

I watch 'em disappear in your eyes

Remember the days we used to drive upstate

Singing indie rock songs in the car

You wore your fresh leather

And blamed it on the weather

For being the reason you were

So difficult, but so invincible

Irresistible, but I loved you still

You kept my secrets and stole my weaknesses

In your white t-shirt, but I couldn't fill

The shoes you laid down for me

From the girls that came before

I was all the way in

You were halfway out the door

Oh, I was an animal making my way up the hill

And you were going in for the kill

And you were going in for the kill

One of these days I'm gonna

Wake up fresh and

Wipe all the past from my eyes

Curl up next to you in tall grass, sunshine

And wrap my body's shape round your side

Remember the days we used to ideate

About what we would do all our lives

I'd be a singer and an old bourbon drinker

Oh, and we'd have a band on the side

I know I was

So difficult, but so invincible

Irresistible, but you loved me still

I kept your secrets and stole your weaknesses

In your white t-shirt, but you couldn't fill

The shoes I laid down for you

From the guys that came before

You were all the way in

I was halfway out the door

Oh, you were an animal making your way up the hill

And I was going in for the kill

Oh, all of our lives

Was it worth it?

Or, ooh, were we just wasting time?

'Cause we were hurting

But I know that you know

That I know you best and

I know that we both

Could forget all the rest

If we just can

Admit that

We both were

So difficult, but so invincible

Irresistible, but I loved you still

You kept my secrets and stole my weaknesses

In your white t-shirt, but I couldn't fill

The shoes you laid down for me

From the ones that came before

I was all the way in

You were halfway out the door

Oh, I was an animal making my way up the hill

And you were going in for the kill

Oh, I was going in for the kill

Oh, we were going in for the kill
