Slippery

Oh, how we lay like spoiled skin beneath the leavesOh, how the ring will never fit the finger properlyIf I could rip it from its bondI'd tie your eyes to me so tightBecause the years are getting slowerOh, I'm a suitcase with the hinges bursting freeAs to say you're stuffed too fullYou have to give your lover's throat awaySo through each pore I sweat the linger of your love awaySo fast because our love is getting slipperySomehow the sky is holding up the heavensBut I can't get the ground to hold the earth up anymoreAnd all our friends are finding life inside the oceanBut my pockets scream you can't afford to live there anymoreFor all of my life I will keep you in my lower legWhere all my sins are piled right up to my shoulder bladeAnd I will visit you with thoughts of the left side of my brainUntil the artery leads me back to you
