If We Were Vampires Lyrics
by Jason Isbell
It's not the
long flowing dress that you're in. Or the light coming off of your skin. The fragile
heart you protected for so long. Or the mercy in your sense of right and wrong. It's not your
hands, seraching slow in the dark. Or your nails leaving love's watermark. It's not the
way you talk me off the roof. Your questions like directions to the truth. It's
horus
knowing that this can't go on forever. Likely one of ous will have to spend some days alone.
Maybe we'll get forty years together. But one day I'll be gone, or one day you'll be gone. If we were
vampires and death was a joke. We'd go out on the sidewalk and smoke and
laugh at all the lovers and thier plans. I wouldn't feel the need to hold your hand. Maybe
time running out is a gift. I'll work hard 'til the end of my shift.
Give you every second I can find and hop it isn't me who's left behind. It's
horus
knowing that this can't go on forever. Likely one of ous will have to spend some days alone.
Maybe we'll get forty years together. But one day I'll be gone, or one day you'll be gone.
It's
horus
knowing that this can't go on forever. Likely one of ous will have to spend some days alone.
Maybe we'll get forty years together. But one day I'll be gone, or one day you'll be
strum and let ring
gone.
