The Love Language

The Love Language The Love Language Lyrics
1.Two Rabbits

Yesterday, chased two rabbits and they both got away
To choose is a chore, my voice is too sore
To call them back out from the forest
Oh, maybe I'll catch them one day

Goodbye, goodnight, wrap your dreams up very tight
They're liable to slip if you loosen your grip
I know mine sunk on that ship
That we were going to sail

So I made a big mistake
Thought this heart would never break
Selfish me
I could have died in your arms
Now I'm back at your feet


2.Lalita

We've got one more to go
And the last one was a mistake
I'd pour you another
But I think I heard the bottle break
On the bedroom floor
And we'll count the hours awake
'Cause I see no sense in sleeping
Only to wake up much too late
Oh, Anna Leigh, it's not that I'm scared, I've got to
Wait for the air to call you

Lalita, don't you hate these kisses?
I know that we're not in
But we're in love with everyone that is
We're talking tiny conversations
Like they're harmless
Oh, don't you know that I know it's a sin?

We've got one more to go
An the last one nearly killed me
I'm talking to the devil but
I think I heard an angel sing (la la la)
And this year has just begun
So don't count your blessings yet
Let's take a walk, but I think we'd better watch our step
Oh, Anna Leigh, lay down beside me
I'm in need of rest
I'm looking for a hand to guide me
Far away from the rest
Are we moving too fast?

Lalita, don't you hate these kisses?
I know that we're not in
But we're in love with everyone that is
I'm making tiny conversations
And though they're charmless
I'm hoping that they'll bring you back again


3.Stars

Night delivers cold shivers
I've been waiting on a heart that quivers for you, Kathleen
Yu're golden
You're just waiting for the stars unfolding for you

Slow winnings, the room's spinning
False starts lead to sad endings
Oh, close your eyes
I'll remind you
It takes an angel or the devil to find you, Kathleen

You shot me down just as I was starting to feel alive
Little girls tell the biggest lies
Baby, your love is just the salt in your eyes

You bolted all your locks just in time to hear the doorbell ring
But you can't shut out everything
Oh, Kathleen, I hope the stars set you free

You shot me down just as I was starting to feel alive
Little girls tell the biggest lies
It seems just yesterday we said goodbye


4.Nocturne


5.Sparxxx

We caught a spark
And lingered like a feather
If every night's a violent fight
How can we hold this thing together?

We're throwing all the money away
I don't need to pay for our mistake

Sunrise to fireflies
These white lies have only left me wasted
And now I'm running out of time
But I don't want to wait
Just blow me away
Out like a birthday candle
Oh, honey, do what you want
Cause I won't remember

Caught off guard
It left my heart in ruin
All my thoughts just ran apart
Like a pack of restless children

I've landed in the worst of worlds
With a dry canteen and plastic sword

Goodbye to blue skies
These white lies have set this heart on fire
And now you want to watch it burn
But I don't want to wait
Just blow me away
Out like a birthday candle
Oh, honey, do what you want


6.Night Dogs

Well, you found the butterflies
It's funny how we're alike
Is your tummy full tonight like mine?

Wine flights of cheap champagne
And that night we stayed up late
For the sunrise that never came
Through the clouds and pouring rain

Oh, tease, I bet you're sitting in a pile
Of stolen LPs on your dirty floor
Wish you were here with me
I'm doing better now
But I've still got the disease

You're an artist with a steady wrist
And I'm just a sad scientist singing
About who I kissed last night
In your shoes, I'd walk a mile
It takes one to know once in a while I do (feel blue, too)

And the worst thing about the changing weather
Is the leaves turn
And you ain't no better and you'll never be
That's the beauty of those lovely leaves
I've still got the disease
I've still got the disease


7.Manteo

Chesapeake, I could barely speak
When I said my first goodbye
My angel she had frozen feet
The day that I arrived

Take your chances hustlin'
Or work a nine-to-five
If we don't get busted
We may get out alive

Manteo, got me tonight

A pluck of feather a clip of wing
You'll forget that it hurts
I used to keep my nose clean
But now I just sleep in the dirt
And I got a coat of colors
I wear it very nice
I know you get what you paid for
I never even thought twice

Manteo, got me tonight

Chesapeake, I could barely speak
When I said my first goodbye
My angel she had frozen feet
The day that I arrived

So we took our chances bustin'
Our pinata valentine
You had a boy you trusted
And I had a heart for of lives

Manteo, this is goodbye


8.Providence

In the red July
When we bit the dust on Providence
All tangled in our not-so-common sense
I heard you say
You'd never sleep again
'Til the bed was made
You lied, you lied, you lied, you lied

Dancing around with all the ghosts in empty homes
You sang and you sounded like you knew it was your own
Rang out a shot in the dark, some things are best to let fall
apart
And you knew, oh, how you knew

In the red July
When we bit the dust on Providence
Oh, tangle me up, tangle me up
And on the last hurrah
We'd better make it hurt
'Cause our time is spent
We lied, we lied, we lied, we lied

Dancing around with all the ghosts in empty homes
You sang and you sounded like you knew it was your own
Rang out a shot in the dark, some things are best to let fall
apart
And you knew, oh, how you knew
