Mother says take nothing from the dead
Ive been stealing matches from a funeral
I was taught, you leave who you came with, always bring a gift
Heavy as the arms on my wrist 
I've been leaving with grief

If a spark is a prayer for the light
Did I kill it, did I kill it

Yes, you're the one I adore
The one I adore

So I walk to the light of the fire
Where you're sleeping with your rings on
I walk to the other side of desire
Where I know what I want
tell me what to want
How I want I want I want

The years could burn me alive
I'm drowning in it, I'm drowning in it

Yes, youre the one I adore
The one I adore
The one I'm waiting for

When did I lose you
Running in circles
How did I lose you

Yes, you're the one I adore
The one I adore


Matches

We was kids, hid your Parliaments in my glove box
I'd drive as you took them in, take them in
Soon as your mom fell asleep, we'd drive to the city, towards the sound
Saw your friend at the Red Room, he was better at guitar than me
But I learned Yellow on your piano

That summer every song was about you I'd drive as you took me in, take me in
A river of brake lights, stop and go with the lava flow, never kept my eyes on the road 
Only thing between me and you, that smoke
The glare of the lamp posts, in the rearview they're catching up

Only wanted one you could dance to
Now the word's dont come so easy

I was making 8 on the hour had nothing to my name
But that old car and a worn license plate every dollar just to drive a little farther
It was gas money
It was a gas, honey 

That night, on the banks of the Charles, stoned under the Perseid, that freckled skin
In a sea of dead lights, in the wake of the passing ships, I heard you cryin
You said 'this city walks on water, and it's so far from me'

And the rose colored dawn came weary
And I loved you with your clothes on

I was making 8 on the hour had nothing to my name
But that old car and worn license plate
Every dollar just to drive a little farther
It was gas money
It was a gas, honey 

When I lost my job, and rolled my car on Storrow, you didn't ask about me
I found those smokes in their box, 
and i wrote a song for tongue tied loss Screamed my throat raw, til it meant nothing 
Strangled the sound, until all it could do was haunt me

Gas Honey

I wrote a waltz, just to dance with you
On the floor, the room feels so small
We know the moves, they only take two
The bow, the dip, the cross, now like a feather
Dos-à-dos

I wrote a waltz, to make the night move slow
With every note, we'd get closer still
And in my arms, I can't match your glow
Nobody knows, how to dance with you
So you sway alone

Hand in hand I don't feel you there
Midnight comes soft as the air
Bodies spin spin spin
Above my head
From the wall I want nothing more
Then to fall into it all
While you spin spin spin
I'm the thread

I wrote a waltz, just to move again
These lungs forget, how to share a breath
If you lead, I'll follow you
Into some hallway where love's never been
Now after you

Hand in hand I don't feel you there
Midnight comes soft as the air
Bodies spin spin spin
Above my head
From the wall I want nothing more
Then to fall into it all
While you spin spin spin
I'm the thread

Take this waltz
I have nothing else to give
In the dark where bodies spin
Just spin with me

Man Bones
