Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The salt taste of your mouth
The small pockets of love
The moment I catch you
Come on top like a dove
[Verse 2]
The price we pay for connection
In a distant life
The chance of making a living
No loving night after night
[Verse 3]
I take your compliments with me
I pack 'em tight on my chest
Leaving home again kills
I kiss your head like a crest
[Verse 4]
Looked twice into my own mirror
On second glance I'm myself
Cut the tension with scissors
I leave the knife on the shelf
The price we pay for connection
In a distant life
[Verse 5]
The salt taste of your mouth
The small pockets of love
The moment I catch you
Come on top like a dove
[Verse 6]
The price we pay for connection
In a distant life
The chance of making a living
No loving night after night
[Bridge]
With all that said
No words in vain
Our distant love is worth its weight in pain
And on the spine of my promise I'll carve your name
[Verse 7]
The salt taste of your mouth
The small pockets of love
The moment I catch you
Come on top like a dove
[Verse 8]
The price we pay for connection
In a distant life
The chance of making a living
No loving night after night
[Outro]
We're alright
