The Alleviators - Fog

from SpinTunes 22 Round 1 by Spintunes

/

lyrics

You kissed my wounds with salt
Lead me to the moonlit coast
I miss you when you drift
But when you're here I hurt the most

I built a house of sand and glass
But I can't breathe inside
My longing rises with the sun
And is stolen by the tide

And that's just how it goes
You creep in with the dawn
I breathe you in like smoke
Stay as long as you want
As long as you want

I wade among these rocks
And the yearning comes in waves
No message in a bottle
For the words we'll never say

But that's just how it goes
You roll in like the tide
Seep into my bones
Refract all the light
I don't mind the cold
The shadows where I belong
You hold me so close
I know the sun'll burn you off

A veil of dreams
I don't awake
No pain endures
No light escape

But by now I should know
Whenever you linger
That I can't see past my nose
You'll still slip through my fingers, figures
It's just how it goes
And I treat you no better
I hold you so close
Then I seek fairer weather
