Fucked Up - The One I Want Will Come for Me lyrics

The first sip did the trick
I’d burn down every other ship
To taste from you again
I’ll wait here for you at the end
We’re held apart by time
I still hear your voice ring in my mind
I’ll watch you from afar
To remember the boy you are

We were violent, beautiful things
As young as hours, and poor as thieves
So splendid in our liberty
Bejeweled in the bones of tyranny
Kiss me before it’s too late
Before the morning when I wake
Remember me that’s all I ask
Because this world sure won’t love me back
Can you hear me when I dream?
You are much further than it seems
Love is an island on the sea
The one I want will come for me
We were violent, beautiful things
As young as hours, and poor as thieves
So splendid in our liberty
Bejeweled in the bones of tyranny
In this world they make you pay
For what you give and what you take
We took it all and in our wake
We left a love they couldn’t break
I won’t get back the things they took
But understand by hook or crook
I’ll live a free life while I stand
And face their teeth and stare right back
