[Verse 1: Gareth]
A recurring dream intrudes
Shit-faced on the nightly news
I'm sure of this as I'm of you:
Spit will mend the bruise
[Verse 2: Gareth & Kim]
Our life flashed before my eyes
Aerial toll house, and I
I caught a glimpse, heavens says "hi"
Spit will mend the bruise
[Verse 3: Gareth & Kim]
Bite, a Sunflower State scar
"Wait" plays by the Secret Stars
To reach such heights, to drop so far
Spit will mend the bruise
