Skittish - Rearview Mirror lyrics
[Skittish - Rearview Mirror lyrics]
My feet are soaked, but I can still breathe
And I'm feeling better
Collecting bumps, collecting teeth
And I'm feeling better
Cause he loves a liar, stoking the fire
Now we're feeling warmer
In so many words she's not concerned
She's so damn sure
That we're headed for a miracle
Fifty miles out of town
She holds her breath, I hold my tongue
When the moments come and gone
And we both saw what we expected
And we drive home satisfied and silent
Take it with a single grain of salt
(I want to)
Take it with a bucket-load of salt
(I want to) take it with an ocean or
A single celled devotion
That just separated, mutated, and thought
Show me all your shit, your itching scars
Tell me all of it, what broke your heart
And I'll take you down the brown Rum's shore
And we'll shape this pain into a pearl
But not today no not today but someway
My knees are soaked, but I can still breathe
And I'm feeling better
There's no plan, what did you think?
There's no plan here
Just flashing lights in my rearview mirror
I don't need this, I can't afford this
I might deserve this so I'm
Crouching down in the backseat
And making deals that I can't keep with God
And hoping that he spares me
Cause, I know that January's crouched
And ready to pounce down
Oh mama, it's coming now
It's floating in the ether
It's falling with the rain
The sin you throttled skyward will
Come back down again
And oh, my neck is soaking
But I can still breathe
The frogs are in the pot now
And they're comfortable with change
He keeps the devil in the dark
But it only takes a spark
Show me all your shit, your itching scars
Tell me all of it, what broke your heart
And I'll take you down the brown Rum's shore
And we'll shape this pain into a pearl
But not today
Taking the wheel, holding the line
And I'm feeling better
I did what I could, and I'm laying it down
Now I'm feeling better
She said, "Come back to bed"
And I'm feeling better
Collecting bumps, collecting teeth
And I'm feeling better
Cause he loves a liar, stoking the fire
Now we're feeling warmer
In so many words she's not concerned
She's so damn sure
That we're headed for a miracle
Fifty miles out of town
She holds her breath, I hold my tongue
When the moments come and gone
And we both saw what we expected
And we drive home satisfied and silent
Take it with a single grain of salt
(I want to)
Take it with a bucket-load of salt
(I want to) take it with an ocean or
A single celled devotion
That just separated, mutated, and thought
Show me all your shit, your itching scars
Tell me all of it, what broke your heart
And I'll take you down the brown Rum's shore
And we'll shape this pain into a pearl
But not today no not today but someway
My knees are soaked, but I can still breathe
And I'm feeling better
There's no plan, what did you think?
There's no plan here
Just flashing lights in my rearview mirror
I don't need this, I can't afford this
I might deserve this so I'm
Crouching down in the backseat
And making deals that I can't keep with God
And hoping that he spares me
Cause, I know that January's crouched
And ready to pounce down
Oh mama, it's coming now

And we'll shape this pain into a pearl

And I'm feeling better
I did what I could, and I'm laying it down
Now I'm feeling better
She said, "Come back to bed"
