Ballad in My Bed

[Chorus]
I'm gonna write you a song
You're on the tip of my tongue
There's nothing to protect you with legs around my neck
Writing the lines on your palms

[Verse 1]
You gotta tell me when it's wrong
Sometimes you're with me, sometimes you're gone
You're harbouring the pain without calling it by name
Yours is the side I'm on

[Chorus]
I'm gonna write you a song
You're on the tip of my tongue
There's nothing to protect you with legs around my neck
Yours is the side I'm on

[Verse 2]
We inherited a sin
We're gonna live out in the wind
Every three years gotta go
Doesn't matter where it blows
So long as you're with me then

[Chorus]
I'm gonna write you a song
You're on the tip of my tongue
There's nothing to protect you with legs around my neck
Tattooed the lines on your palms

[Verse 3]
It's been a hard luck afternoon
You've been buried in a tomb
Roll that rock away, drag the night into the day
I love you, my only truth

[Chorus]
I'm gonna write you a song
You're on the tip of my tongue
There's nothing to protect you with legs around my neck
Tattooed the lines on your palms
I never wanted to neglect the ballad in my bed
Writing the lines on your palms
