Alkaline Trio - Sweet Vampires lyrics

You hold me down, right on time
Love of my life
You showed up, and showed me so wrong
You were right alone in this ocean
Floating in the moonlight
At home with the notion it’s me, myself
And I

I was the live fast, car crash
Mulholland Drive open the flood gates
This love hate is making me cry
But tears fill the tub with the
Blood from your wrist that night

If we should live forever
Like sweet vampires
When we can reign together our own empire
Now we should try to sever all our past ties
But it’s me and you and the skies are blue
Both bleeding from our eyes

I was a love-sick, dumb dick
Top off the stock came to shove
When you push and locked his keys in his car
I feel like an animal that’s
Been kicked around too long
An eel who's electric circuitry that’s
Been wired all wrong

If we should live forever
Like sweet vampires
When we can reign together our own empire
Now we should try to sever all our past ties
But it’s me and you and the skies are blue
Both bleeding from our eyes

Now where the hell have you
Gone off and flown away to
Some shithole you call home (some asshole)
Told me I won’t survive
Somehow, I’m scraping by
We’re reduced to ruin rubble, rags and bones

If we should live forever
Like sweet vampires
When we can reign together our own empire
Now we should try to sever all our past ties
But it’s me and you and the skies are blue
Both bleeding from our eyes

Both bleeding from our eyes
Both bleeding from our eyes
Both bleeding from our eyes
Both bleeding from our eyes
