July Lyrics

Can you see it

Decorate your arms with secrets

Tell me you didn't mean it

And we're facing each other

And we bury one another

Now, let's go to your eyes

Playing with the light

Smear those words all across your face

It's a slow-burn

Venom, in your veins

Southern accent, on a porch swing

Sleepers, living the wrong dream

Mason jars, and torn-up cars

There's always time, for the wrong things

Now, let's go to the night

When everything stood on the line

You tore across the room, like a hurricane

It's a slow-burn

Venom, in your veins

Now, let's go to the place

Where the shadows didn't fall on your face

One last kiss, by the river-side

It's a slow-burn

Venom, in your eye

Flying, like a rocket in the July sun

Listening for secrets, in the power-line hum

The story, traced in concrete

Come to me, now, darling

The clock-tower is ringing

The town square is singing

Children dance with lightning

A story traced on dead leaves

Come to me, now, darling
