Chalk

about

Preliminary for upcoming album.

lyrics

I've got an awful lot of bloody history for you to read
I've got white chalk all over my hands
Trying to erase the terrible love
Brush it off on my pants

Sit on the floor of this new story empty space
Will it still be beautiful with all our dirty little things
I'm thinking about everything that could go wrong
In the next few months with our new home
I'm thinking about where to put furniture
And I'm thinking about kissing you
Because I'm young and in love

Oh I wanna watch water fall off your fingertips like this
Wanna grab you and pull you till your clothes rip like this
I've got energy inside me that I want you to feel
And I'm gonna show up with my heart in my hands
I'm gonna ask you to dance

Don't let me down, don't tell me no
Cause I don't wanna grow old
And disappoint ages us all something awful

As we get older we have further to fall
We may get tougher and the damage done if much less visible
But we hold it

I'm not gonna get hurt
I'm gonna take my shoes off, dance in the dirt, and be innocent
I'm gonna care for you as if I've never cared for anyone
I'll be young and in love

Until my head falls down to the side
And my arms curl up, I turn yellow, and I die
I 'll be young and in love
Disappoint ages up all something awful
I'll be young and in love

And we both know how we got here
And we both know how to dance
And I hope that I can get home
With my heart in my hands

And we grew up tall and healthy
Far away from the cruel city
And I know I've been in love before
Doesn't make you any less pretty
