lyrics

I've been watching the skeletons
frames of buildings going up and then
coming down

I love your kisses they don't make a sound
I hear the people walking all around
I'm falling and I'm waiting to hit the ground

I've been waiting for me to live
at least that's what I've been calling it
waiting to die

I love the smoke resting in your eye
it linger there and it billows high
sometimes I wonder why it never ever makes you cry

What's that light, is that the moon in your window
you think you love me and I love you too
what is love if not gravity or something
weighing down on you

Is that the person you've been sleeping with
you won't know him till your sick of it
what comes around

he loves you because you keep him down
a rock waiting on the burning ground
you love him because he never ever makes a sound

What's that light, is that the moon in your window
you think you love me and I love you too
what is love if not gravity or something
weighing down on you

The stars are shining through the trees again
shining white like a skeleton
what keeps you down?

you love the smoke rising all around
you rise up and something holds you down
you're falling and you love the feeling when you hit the ground
