๐ Lyrics
Stole the papers from a dead man
And I whistled through the border
And I waved with real heroes
In a ticker tape parade
Smiled with all my teeth
Just like my godmother taught me
And swore within their graves
To keep myself how well behaved
And everything I did I did for fear of working hard
And I made it look deliberate and brave
Someone else's heart now means more to me than mine
And I swear to keep her safe 'til in my grave
To keep her safe 'til in my grave
And I swear to keep her safe 'til in my grave
Tie a woman to the tracks, so you can then effect a rescue
I detest you now I love you
Can you see which way is up?
When you feel they understand
You must abandon them
His modus operandi may distress
But we'll always fill your cup
And so it was until my love came holding up a mirror
And I saw the soul that angels wouldn't save
She showed me how my blackened heart
Could beat for two
And how it does
I swear to keep her safe 'til in my grave
To keep her safe 'til in my grave
And I swear to keep her safe 'til in my grave
And I whistled through the border
And I waved with real heroes
In a ticker tape parade
Smiled with all my teeth
Just like my godmother taught me
And swore within their graves
To keep myself how well behaved
And everything I did I did for fear of working hard
And I made it look deliberate and brave
Someone else's heart now means more to me than mine
And I swear to keep her safe 'til in my grave
To keep her safe 'til in my grave
And I swear to keep her safe 'til in my grave
Tie a woman to the tracks, so you can then effect a rescue
I detest you now I love you
Can you see which way is up?
When you feel they understand
You must abandon them
His modus operandi may distress
But we'll always fill your cup
And so it was until my love came holding up a mirror
And I saw the soul that angels wouldn't save
She showed me how my blackened heart
Could beat for two
And how it does
I swear to keep her safe 'til in my grave
To keep her safe 'til in my grave
And I swear to keep her safe 'til in my grave
