Whalebones

He felt her curves surrounding his neck Like a yoke He knows He'll never forget The way she cut through his bed Like a snake would bite through a cave of flesh But he holds her Though she's broken He swears he don't care where she's been He's tired of being human He wears her close to the bone as though she were his own skin He shoots from the heart instead of the head His mouth and his words they rarely connect He looks to the past and where his tongue's tread And he knows he meant the opposite But she holds him Like an infant Though it breaks her in half to know he'll wake like a man Sold on cold indifference When he reaches for her she's gone She slips like the wind through blackened sails, but Who are we to love at all? Who are we to love at all? Who are we to love at all? Who are we to love at all? And I hope you don't mind If I hang all of my hopes I hang all my hopes on this time Although I've been warned I'll probably get burned I'd rather get burned than to not try I hope you don't mind If I hang all of my hopes I hang all of my hopes on this time 'Cause you won't Let it go Who are we to love at all? Let it go Let it go Who are we to love at all? Let it go Let it go Let it go Let it go Who are we to love at all? Let it go Let it go Let it go Let it go Who are we to love at all?
