Fistfight

Fortune up and left me on the hotel floor Well, you know she never paid me no mind I was lying in the corner making eyes at the door They say it's good to start the story with a tragedy The day I finally met you like I knew I would You raised me from the wreck of my doubt You were smiling to yourself as if we both understood The silent language of the anguish of a heart that sings but doesn't make a sound What did I do to deserve you? How did you find me? I was already halfway gone You were a bright light You were a fistfight, oh Nobody told me all the patience to takes For the sky to open up around me They said love is grabbing blindly at a pit full of snakes And wait to feel the only heel among the rows of all the venomous teeth What did I do to deserve you? How did you find me? I was already halfway gone You were a bright light You were a fistfight, oh Our love is older than the Great Wall Our love spins a gun around its finger Our love has found its way into our mouths before Cut our teeth until we swallow it whole Our love hums low beneath the floorboards Our love grows flowers in the winter Our love has found its way onto our tongues before There is more, so take a bite and let it linger What did I do to deserve you? How did you find me? I was already halfway gone You were a bright light You were a fistfight, oh What did I do to deserve you? How did you find me? I was already halfway gone You were a bright light You were a fistfight, oh
