take back those dirty words
I don’t need what I’ve already heard
take back those dirty words again
broke my back
in the heat of the sun
and I called your name until I came undone
and now I take back those dirty words that I said
picking pennies
off the concrete stairs
I caught your fragile gaze
and your sun soaked hair
and I couldn’t grasp those dirty words
that you said
wide awake
with the blood red moon
you’re singing sly little songs
to a capturing tune
and I drank in those dirty words that you sang
take back those dirty words
I can’t forget what I’ve already heard
take back those dirty words again
