Written for Shean Higgans about loving someone & understanding someone no matter what type of sheanhiggans they get up to.
lyrics
He races time and his pulse at night
and raises his glass to the witness
Petticoat tears for a cigarette smile
and a laugh
that says "I will never hold you down"
No, I will never hold you down
and so he waits
and so he waits
Loved.
I see smoke in your eyes
I see smoke in your eyes
Now he's Zippering words like railroad ties
with his wishes and wishes and lullabies
oh, cover your skin in city lies
The walls are thin, won't you sing again?
He let go
He let go
we let go
Loved
I see smoke in your eyes, I see smoke in your eyes
Pretty one.
