Poison

If I told you my story
you'd flip through it like a picture book
and you'd shake your head
as my words sunk in the floor
and you'd tell me
"I'm sorry, but it all sounds a little too contrived"
so
we'll drive and drive
'til I forget I've got the wheel in my hands

See
I'm thinking of those Autumn days
blankets on her driveway
she said she'd love me for a while
Cold concrete
on the rainy days
We'd stay dry under things we'd say
and I loved her like a child

So
Yeah yeah
you're beautiful
and I won't deny the way you kiss my mind
makes me feel alive
But
Oh no
you're just not her
and I can't begin to love another heart
when I'm dreaming mine apart

See I'd stuff my pockets
with my songs of love
dropped them all on her kitchen floor
like marbles
they filled up all my cracks
But you
you're kissing me on lip-stained lips
and me?
well the thought of me can make me sick


Still
I'm dreaming through these skipping frames
blankets on a driveway
I swear she loved me all the while
Cold concrete
in the winter haze
Smoke down another 30 days
I've lost her in the miles

So
Yeah yeah
you're beautiful
and I won't deny the way you kiss my mind
makes me feel alive
But
Oh no
you're just not her
and I can't begin to love another heart
when I'm dreaming mine apart

Oh I'm the vandal of my dreams

I'd call me Poison
But you drink me
look what you've got inside your veins now
