Kerosene Lyrics

Sometimes I say your name in the dark of the room

The way I choose to lay is relative to you

My heart is okay, I'm having happier days

But these nights, I can't get used to them

Ooo ooo

My heart's a scratched up tape from a highlight reel

I play back on the rain, steady hearts behind the wheel

A late night drive, those fluorescent lights

We picked out sweets to buy and sweet nothings all night

You must have planted some kind of seed

Maybe something evergreen is growing all through me

Should I let it swallow me?

I think I'd need kerosene to ever leave

I'll beat around the bush, won't explain why I wish you would

come back to me

I think about the way that time can heal

Well time keeps me awake, I chase but I can't steal

I swear I'm okay, I'm trying more these days

To keep busy and happy

But you must have planted some kind of seed

Maybe something evergreen is growing all through me

Should I let it swallow me?

I think I'd need kerosene to ever leave

I'll beat around the bush, won't explain why I wish you would

come back to me

I roll in my bed and then I get up again

But I know that I'm glued to this room

I play an old song and I hear the words wrong:

"Time is ticking a sweet summer race in you"

You must have planted some kind of seed

Maybe something evergreen is growing all through me

Should I let it swallow me?

I think I'd need kerosene to ever leave

I'll beat around the bush, won't explain why I wish you would

come back to me
