lyrics

Tossing and turning on a sea of teeth
The Girl In The Swing always helps me to sleep
Not for the first time in my whole life
But I fucked up pretty bad this time…..

Here at the top of my skull, I wonder, how could it be?
Hearts are little liars and are not to be believed

And you say I am insolent
And I am incomplete
I’m a forest fire on a city street
But I don’t want to be
I’ve got a life to lead
You say I’m a juvenile
I’m an awful friend
I’m a runaway train at the railroad’s end
Something I don’t want to see
But that’s not really me

I was sailing away upon a lake of sweat
Every harbor filled with poison regret
And I wasn’t sure if I’d survive….
So I brought a pistol to your knife fight

Here at the top of my skull, I wonder, how could it be?
Hearts are little liars and are not to be believed

And you say I am insolent
And I am incomplete
I’m a forest fire on a city street
But I don’t want to be
I’ve got a life to lead
You say I’m a juvenile
I’m an awful friend
I’m a runaway train at the railroad’s end
Something I don’t want to see
But that’s not really me

Some ride for a woman who has no name, some ride for a king
But me I’d ride and ride for The Girl In The Swing
Race like a phantom through fields of snow
You ask me if I know what love is? Sure I know
But hearts are little liars and must be treated so
Ba Ba Ba-Ba Ba-Ba Ba Ba
Hearts are little liars and I dont want to know
Ba Ba Ba-Ba Ba-Ba Ba Ba
Ba Ba Ba-Ba Ba-Ba Ba Ba
Ba Ba Ba-Ba Ba-Ba Ba Ba
