red velvet cake Lyrics

Hey, love, let me hold you close to my side

My arm can hold up your neck

You promise it's fine, and that's alright

But it doesn't hurt to check

Hey, love, let me wrap my arms and legs tight

Around your body in bed

If the ceiling falls in chunks of plaster

Then I can wind up dead

'Cause bodies are easy to lift in dreams

Heads cave in like red velvet cake

And I am angrier and stronger than I'd ever be

'Til I cry myself awake

And kitchen counters splatter with red

But I hope you're the one who'll be saved

'Cause I've never had those dreams about you

No, I've never had those dreams about you

Hey, love, your insides are where they should be

And that sunny smile's on your face

If I keep you by my side, close to me

I'll protect you in my embrace

Hey love, I'm glad you beat me in fights

Yes, love, you're strong and spry

So please don't hesitate to snap my neck

If I ever need to die

'Cause bodies are easy to lift in dreams

They cave in like red velvet cake

And I am angrier and stronger than I'd ever be

'Til I cry myself awake

And things slice cleanly down the middle

But I hope just for once dreams behave

'Cause I've never had those dreams about you

Not yet, I've never had those dreams about you

I am too familiar with the plunge of my heart

I am too familiar with things I'll never say

I am too familiar with the gratitude I feel

For your body living another day

I am too familiar with the plunge of my heart

I am too familiar with how I almost pray

I am too familiar with the gratitude I feel

For everything being okay

I am too familiar with the plunge of my heart

I am too familiar with things I'll never say

I am too familiar with the gratitude I feel

For your body living another day

'Cause bodies are easy to lift in dreams

Heads cave in like red velvet cake

And I am angrier and stronger than I'd ever be

Till I cry myself awake

And kitchen counters splatter with red

But I swear this time I will be brave

And I'll never have those dreams about you

No, I'll never have those dreams about you
