Bruises like constellations under my sleeves

The girl I want, she's high above my reach

I chase the feeling of that first time

Yet I never get close to the elusive prize

Feeling that I'm chasing

The childhood I've been erasing

I falter instead

Stunned in the head

Strung out from the way you look at me

Goddamn, you are everything

And I am a fool

Falter, stun

Reload my two pistols

Aiming at the sun

Or my temple

You were the one

Now I am alone

Falter, stun

I let it burn

Hypocrite, I wear my own shame

For wanting the love I set in flames

Hands still shaking when you pass me by

Mouth full of smoke, but I can't lie

I built the cage

Then begged for the key

I falter instead

Stunned in the head

Strung out from the way you look at me

Goddamn, you are everything

And I am a fool

Falter, stun

Reload my two pistols

Aiming at the sun

Or my temple

You were the one

Now I am alone

Falter, stun

I let it burn

If I could take it back

If I could undo that spark

I'd pull the match from my own mouth

And leave you out of the dark

But I keep coming back

To the shape of your name

Falter, stun

Reload my two pistols

Aiming at the sun

Or my temple

You were the one

Now I am alone

Falter, stun

I let it burn

You were the one

Now I am alone
