[Verse 1]
Can you tell me
Where your fingers end and mine begin?
'Cause I can’t tell
Vision's blurry
I’m tired of holding on
Drowning in self harm
And I’m melting your eyes beneath the cigarette smoke sky
And when worlds collide, you just might realize what you love and it's gone
[Refrain]
Your hair pulled back and your eyes blood red
Butterfly kisses on my skin
On my skin, they're on my skin
Wasted youth and a fist full of regrets
On my skin, they're on my skin
On my skin, they're on my skin
On my skin, they're on my skin
Haunted by all the things I wished I’d said
On my skin, they're on my skin
On my skin, they're on my skin
On my skin, they're on my skin
On my skin, they're on my skin
[Verse 2]
One rose on me and wax butterflies all on the bed
In this motel, time moves slowly
It feels like a homemade bomb, I’m struggling to disarm
And this thorn in my side bleeds until my veins run dry
I trace your love line, I laid my heart inside your palm
And it’s gone
[Refrain]
Your hair pulled back and your eyes blood red
Butterfly kisses on my skin
On my skin, they're on my skin
Wasted youth and a fist full of regrets
[Bridge]
Pretend I'm asleep in the passenger seat
Getting harder to breathe with my head to my knees
And I'm filled with regret by the things that I said
When the air gets thin, you’re my oxygen
'Cause all these lights and all these sounds get better and brighter when you're around
And as my feet come off the ground, I couldn't care less if I came back down
[Chorus]
And now I'm burning like a falling star to catch your love
It goes a million miles an hour and I can't keep up
Replaying all the things you told me, I've been lost and lonely
Yeah, you're the glow in my crucible and the flames will stoke 'til they burn my paper heart
Now I'm burning like a falling star to catch your love
It goes a million miles an hour and I can't keep up
Replaying all the things you told me, I've been lost and lonely
Yeah, you're the glow in my crucible and the flames will stoke 'til they burn my paper heart
[Outro]
On my skin, they're on my skin
On my skin, they're on my skin
On my skin, they're on my skin
On my skin, they're on my skin
'Til they burn my paper heart
On my skin, they're on my skin
On my skin, they're on my skin
On my skin, they're on my skin
On my skin, they're on my skin
And now I'm burning like a falling star to catch your love
It goes a million miles an hour and I can't keep up
Replaying all the things you told me, I've been lost and lonely
Yeah, you're the glow in my crucible and the flames will stoke 'til they burn my paper heart
