The Spill Canvas lyrics

Aim, snap, fall
The bitter wind weaved it's way
through the trees so tall
Colors invading sight
I think I've found my new addiction tonight
The phone call
Left me paralyzed from the waist down
the pureness of it all

And then your siren began to sing
I know this may be redundant
but I think it bares repeating
I think I've found my other half

There’s pixies tuggin at your hair....
There’s pixies tuggin at your hair....
Your so beautiful
Your hair....

Your picture in my hand
I am at the mercy of your photograph
The halo above your head
Has set ablaze the heavens my angel
It’s 3 AM and I am sneaking out your back door
A goodnight kiss and I am stumbling to my car

And I never thought I'd feel this safe again

And there's three, count 'em three
children playing on the beach
They were eager to learn,
to be taught and to teach

There's Veronica
She's biting her lip
as she watches the waves turn white at the tip
And there's Vada
Radiating with joy
and luckily she still can't stand the sight of a boy
And lastly there's Dade
His hair dances in the wind

These pills aren't working anymore
My guts are spilling out onto the floor
of a nightmare you wouldn't believe
of a nightmare you could not conceive of

You're floating above my head
There are words carved in my chest
and they said...
"Could somebody show me the kind of affection
that you only see in the movies, you know what I mean"

I will suck the elixir from your fingertips

I found fountains of imagery that are passing
through me like a knife
From a group of friends that prefer to attack from the back
I'm trying to grasp concepts of your dimensions
While my universe is laced around your wrist
I am the bracelet you sport
I am everything that you have ever missed, and more

I was hoping I could tell you this with two feet on the ground

In a romantic fashion
I will experiment with my fear right before her eyes
And every smile that's unveiled will be soaked
in my nervous charm

Then I'll say
"Is everything alright?
there's been a few things I've been meaning
to let go of tonight"
And she will say
"Everything's just fine
so you can put an end to your worrying mind"
And then our lips will collide

I had the notion that you'd make me change my ways
My bad habits would be gone in a matter of days
I had the feeling that you'd open up my eyes
To a whole new world that had since been in disguise

But that day will most likely never come for me
And it's just my luck to end up getting stuck
to everything you are

So tonight I'll sit and pick apart your pictures

How does it feel to know you're everything I need
The butterflies in my stomach
they could bring me to my knees
How does it feel to know you're everything I want
I've got a hard time saying this
so I'll sing it in a song

Oh I adore the way you carry yourself
With the grace of a thousand angels overhead
I love the way the galaxy starts to melt
When we become one

My empty promises
Led to our demise
And I could never tell you how I really feel
and for that I eternally apologize

I hope you never forget the tapping at your window
With the harsh cold and the jealousy
running through my bones
We were both selfish, but I think I was more

I would like to thank you, for showing me
A part of myself that I have never seen

In muddy grass we stand side by side
with our knuckles interlocked
Black dresses flood the cemetery
in this cliche tragedy

Just do as you're instructed and....
Take this razor and cut your palms
I'll do the same until a river of crimson begins to flow
Now drip your ruby red over the casket
A funeral for my once loved youth

My secret is fatally gorgeous
I'd die for you

I'm bottling up your soft,
Dream-like scent
In my head for the ride home
I've been searching
With bruised limbs
For ways to get me going
For ways to get me going

To give me confidence to stare
And observe the world
To give me confidence to stare

If I could sleep forever
Would you still be in my dreams
If I could sleep forever
Would you still be in my dreams

I see a sense of wonder deep inside your eyes
As we’re sparkling and twirling in the twilight
And after three long years, I think that we both need this
So we seal the deal in the parking lot with a kiss

And in case you
And in case you were wondering, you are like a sunset to me
You’re all kinds of beautiful as you end my day
and you sweetly retire as stars chase you away
