about

This song used to be for my parents but now it's for what I wished they'd been.

lyrics

Was that the bang, the shot, or the signal to go?
“I think if she likes you, you’re forgiven for being slow.”
Would you believe if I said I couldn’t think?
Our hands interlocked and I felt complete
It was the lighter, the house, the torch held high
A smoke break lighthouse brought me by
Flash of the lights, and the (insert name of other band or venue) amps
I held up a cigarette and I asked you to dance
Is it love, is it love, is it love, or god
Is it something more fundamental?
An attraction between reproductive genes
or the perfume on your sweatshirt?
We share a look, it’s all a ruse
They gave you more Oxycontin to abuse
Chemo’s a bitch nothing soothes the pain
You’re running out of time when it hits your veins
You know it could be me or you
It might just be the note you found at two in the morning when you rang
The panic and fear almost drove me insane
Is it love, Is it love, Is it love, oh god
Or a deadlocked traffic sickness?
That’s why we never let this game begin
I love you but we’re scared cause we know how it ends
“Where do we go when we finally die?”
We used to let those kinds of questions pass us by
It’s all too much to wake and see
That smoothed shaved head sleeping next to me
The sun doesn’t rise from east to west
It climbs the sky in time with your breath
Should those lungs stop drawing air
That man upstairs better Be Prepared
Is it love, Is it love, Is it love, if you’re gone?
And I’ve been a dead man walking for so fucking long
I swear I’d hold that flame for you
That’s just what I intend to do
I know where I’ll go when I finally die
I’ll stand young and proud right by your side

IS IT LOOOOOOOVEEEEEEeeeeeeeee…..
IS. IT. LOOOOOVVVEEEEEEEeeeeeeee……
