Kicking Yourself Home Lyrics

The lines carved in her face provide enough

Explanation as to how it all ended

As she went round the bend with him

They set fire, set fire

In time, they lied

Sometimes it's hard to act surprised

It's like every time it happens requires new explanation

And you're kicking yourself home but it just isn't the same

As the feeling you got all the times you'd been meeting

It seemed as if summer was endless, so endless

And the nights 'round the bend appeared grey

The chicanes gave way

To the palms of her hands, and like putty you stayed

And became, whatever she wanted

And as you made to escape the legs started to ache

The head started to pound

You found your fingers wound

Around hers

Tighter than

Once before

And the thought

That you might

Never sit

On her wall

And just talk

And just talk it all out

But you've found

That the body is killed by the mouth

(Yeah the body is killed by the mouth)

Well you spent the whole night tryna escape her trap

But an irate heart rate beckons you back

And you can say you're seeing red

But she'd just paint it black

And then your train journey home

Happens to go off track

And as you sit there going sour she leans in and slurs

She says don't read between the lines

If it means missing the words

She said don't read between the lines if it means

Missing the words
