Cut & Run Lyrics by Civilian

You Wouldn’t Believe What Privilege Costs

2016

Save for the nature of midnight my eyes are wide
The constant ascent of an intrigue that multiplies
Should the chance to cut and run arise
I'm sticking with you every time
Baby, I care the same way you care
You're the beginning of the end of me
The only thing that ever meant a damn to me
The song I sing, the secret that I keep
In the space between my teeth
You're the only thing I need
Muted drums escape to the balcony
Through reflective glass
The two of us appeared as a picture
Unaware the guests were staring back
And one by one, descending from ten
We took the year and traded it in
Then in like kind we started again
You're the beginning of the end of me
The only thing that ever meant a damn to me
The song I sing, the secret that I keep
In the space between my teeth
You're the only thing I need
Normally my heart is the source of my confusion
But it's a sucker for a backless dress
What a beautiful mess we've gotten into
What a beautiful mess
You're the beginning of the end of me
The only thing that ever meant a damn to me
The song I sing, the secret that I keep
In the space between my teeth
You're the only thing I need
You are the sunset, you're the morning
You're the time I kill between them
In the depth of a daydream
I awake so I can find you
You are the part of the chorus
Where you close your eyes and breathe
I was overwhelmed when you whispered
I was overcome when you smiled
I was overwhelmed
You're the beginning of the end of me
The only thing that ever meant a damn to me
(I was overcome when you smiled)
The song I sing, the secret that I keep
In the space between my teeth
You're the only thing I need
(I was overcome when you smiled)
The only thing I need
