lyrics

Love Has a Terrible Way

The last of our love prepares to die
It’s lingered on beyond its time
Attracting birds of prey
Still we turned away

I thought I could do it
I took the chance and I blew it

I wanted to change you, make you fit my imagination
Oh love has a terrible way of persisting
It’s exhausting

The birds come in and form a line
With bloody beaks and rolling eyes
To roost above our love bed
Over our heads

And although I could see it
I didn’t want to admit it

Our lives are mingled
Like two balls of string in a tangle
That I don’t know where to begin to unravel
It’s too painful

I thought that I could undo it
But it’s not easy cos

My heart breaks when I see you
Cos your face makes me want to kiss you
My body screams to hold you
But it’s can’t be
Because you’re bad for me

The beasts will feed on their prey
Until we get through these delusional days
Oh love has a terrible way of persisting
It’s exhausting

I love that the guys' harmonies have more focus in this album; it's a very different balance than Expert In A Dying Field, but I like it! Kirin Martin
