Bob Mould - Old Highs, New Lows lyrics
[Bob Mould - Old Highs, New Lows lyrics]
We lock the gaze tightly upon each other
No others come near, no others come between
As you remain beside me muted and studying
In beauty and radiant heat
I will write the words I want to hear you say
On a page torn from my diary
I hand you the sacred text and
Wait for you to place it
Across the hole in my heart smoothing
The edges from the center
Affixing it in place with
Sugar water and saliva
I want you to read these
Words to me every day
This is where the thought resides
Stuck upon my heart on the outside
I am speechless in your beauty
You are flawless in my eyes
As your eyes show my reflection
I try to ignore the decay and
Listen harder to the tone
The pitch of your broad chest
As it exhales into mine
Old highs, new lows ain't that how life goes
No others come near, no others come between
As you remain beside me muted and studying
In beauty and radiant heat
I will write the words I want to hear you say
On a page torn from my diary
I hand you the sacred text and
Wait for you to place it
Across the hole in my heart smoothing
The edges from the center
Affixing it in place with
Sugar water and saliva
I want you to read these
Words to me every day
This is where the thought resides
Stuck upon my heart on the outside
I am speechless in your beauty
You are flawless in my eyes
As your eyes show my reflection
I try to ignore the decay and
Listen harder to the tone
The pitch of your broad chest
As it exhales into mine
Old highs, new lows ain't that how life goes
