lyrics

Without Warning

Lover you’ve gone silent
Lover can you hear me
Lover where’s your body
I’ve searched all the lakes and rivers

Lover can you heal me
From these shakes and shivers
Pull the poison from my body
Replace all my pain killers

I’ve got love songs for bar flies
Anthems for rent
Never got paid to do the job
And now the money’s all spent
You got paint still on your fingers
From rewriting all the rules
Keeping trouble right at hand
Between the makers and the fools

We could just slip below the red
Hide out in bed
Have our own ceremony
Feast the spirit starve regret

Oh well what are you asking me
What are you not saying
What wrongs you want unravelled
What story are you saving

You go and show me your damage
Like my body’s gonna fix it
Like my skin holds a secret
Like my heart’s made of granite

I fall so easily
I fall without warning
I fall like lightning
I fall when skies are storming
Sometimes I fall slowly
Like her image at the border
Of your mind oh it’s slipping
You’ve tried every way to hold her

Just peel back the covers
Tell me everything’s alright
‘Cause colour comes from darkness
Broken into by the light

Oh we could just slip below the red
Hide out in bed
Have our own ceremony
Feast the spirit starve regret

What story are you saving?
Why are you just waiting?
