Two Birds On A Wire

"Two Birds On A Wire"
2012

As the room begins to spin
I feel the need for air
But I see your raise your hands
Like you don't have a care
'Cause you're just here to see
How far you can unwind
And you say I'm wound too tight
But you don't really mind
'Cause there's something in your kiss
That I would die to feel
But since I've never felt like this
It's hard to tell what's real
So you can pinch my skin
And press your lips to mine
Then I will take my place
Beside you on the vine
'Cause we're just two birds on a wire
Who will try their best
To try and take this higher
Much higher than the rest
But girl I have to know
Before the feeling's gone
Is the spark between us love
Or is it what we're on
As the room begins to spin
I see you crack a smile
'Cause the look upon my face
Proves it's been awhile
Since I ever tried to fly
And get away from ground
While knowing if I fall
It may not make a sound
Like that tree inside the woods
When no one is around
But still I must relapse
To feel this love I've found
That makes me pinch my skin
As she pressed her lips to mine
'Cause I have to take my place
Beside her on the vine
'Cause we're just two birds on a wire
Who will try their best
To try and take this higher
Much higher than the rest
But girl I have to know
Before the feeling's gone
Is the spark between us love
Or is it what we're on
Is it coursing through the wire
Or through your fingertips
'Cause I feel a bit of fire
Is held behind your lips
And girl, I'd gladly burn
Like a suicidal moth
Since other girls and you
Are made from different cloth
There's no other in this place
That I would rather have
And if you denied me this
I would go rather mad
And choose that jacket white
Then have them tie it tight
And try to give myself a hug
That felt like yours tonight
So you may make me beg
And you may make me plead
But I'll grovel for a chance
To taste that thing I need
So you can wave it in my face
Or you can turn and wink
But your love won't go to waste
Fuck what other people think
Leave rumors for the fools
And gossip for the old
'Cause the things I'll do to you
Are better left untold
So you can pinch my skin
And press your lips to mine
Then I will take my place
Beside you on the vine
'Cause we're just two birds on a wire
Who will try their best
To try and take this higher
Much higher than the rest
But girl I have to know
Before the feeling's gone
Is the spark between us love
Or is it what we're on
With some circuits made to trip
While others spark and fry
If they got the surge from you
That helped to get me high
Now I could light the whole damn town
Without coming down
'Cause there's lightning in my eyes
Each time that you're around
So please remove conductors
And keep arms in the aisle
'Cause if they want to bring us down
It just may take awhile....
