A Measure of Life Lyrics by Work Drugs

Mavericks

0

She held a thrift store pose with Cure on the stereo
A pastor for the scene
The way she stood on her toes for songs that she didn't know
And lyrics kids can't read
She was pretty in pink with sleeves like an artifact
Multiplied the treason
But he was holding her hand with claws like a weatherman
I'll wait another season
Please stand here for a minute
I'll find a way to make it
And cross that frozen garden line
Please wait here for a minute
I'll find a way to leave it
I'll find a way to make you hurt
When the borders long gone and we're reunited
You won't break for me
When our secret of love is drowned on the stereo
Just choose the wedding theme
Now you swear you're back with eyes that can haunt me
And bruises left on your knees
Just a punk rock queen lost in your coronation
This night belongs to me
Please stand here for a minute
I'll find a way to make it
And cross that frozen garden line
Please wait here for a minute
I'll find a way to leave it
I'll find a way to make you hurt
In a moment they're gone and I'm left and holding
It takes a moment
Leave your name on the stereo
And you don't know what it's like
Just stand on your toes and watch me, watch me go
Just stand on your toes for lyrics you didn't know
Just stand on your toes and watch me, watch me go
