This song was the first song the band The Pretty Reckless released as a complete ensemble.
The rough story of this song is a girl with a supernatural lover, most possibly a vampire, and her desires to become ‘one of them’ so they can stay in love forever.
[Verse 1: Taylor Momsen]
Take me, I'm alive
Never was a girl with a wicked mind
But everything looks better when the sun goes down
[Verse 2: Taylor Momsen]
I had everything
Opportunities for eternity
And I could belong to the night
[Pre-Chorus: Taylor Momsen]
Your eyes, your eyes
I can see in your eyes, your eyes
[Chorus: Taylor Momsen]
You make me wanna die
I'll never be good enough
You make me wanna die
And everything you love
Will burn up in the light
And every time I look inside your eyes
You make me wanna die
[Verse 3: Taylor Momsen]
Taste me, drink my soul
Show me all the things that I shouldn't know
When there's a blue moon on the rise
[Verse 2: Taylor Momsen]
I had everything
Opportunities for eternity
And I could belong to the night
[Pre-Chorus: Taylor Momsen]
Your eyes, your eyes
I can see in your eyes, your eyes
Everything in your eyes, your eyes
[Chorus: Taylor Momsen]
You make me wanna die
I'll never be good enough
You make me wanna die
And everything you love
Will burn up in the light
Every time I look inside your eyes (I'm burning in the light)
You make me wanna die
[Bridge: Taylor Momsen, Ben Phillips]
I would die for you, my love, my love
I would lie for you, my love, my love (You make me wanna die)
And I would steal for you, my love, my love (You make me wanna die)
I would die for you, my love, my love
[Outro: Taylor Momsen, Ben Phillips, Taylor Momsen & Ben Phillips]
We'll burn up in the light
Every time I look inside your eyes (I'm burning in the light)
Look inside your eyes (I'm burning in the light)
I look inside your eyes
You make me wanna die
