My Lover The Floodlight

I've never been much for
Using words as a conduit
I've never been a great boy
But boy, I'll put my mind to it

And oh, you startled me so bad
But maybe when I'm done with this song
You'll be gone
Or, maybe you'll be drawn to it

Girl, you know better
Than to win me with a bracelet
I'm a sucker for the smart ones
But boy, I wasn't braced for this

A drop-dead, turn your head
"10" with proper intellect
I am sensitive
I was meant for this

I saw the way
That you were workin' the sunlight
Ivory skin, it paints a picture
As our bodies collide

In the sun, where I'm from
Just to make sure that we're alive
In the rain, you're an angel
In a snowstorm you're a sunbeam

Cause love came out of nowhere
And drove away the dark in me

I walked along the shoreline
Where the elements collide
It made me think of alcohol
How odd, but how the different sides

Of drunks, of drunks, and pretty girls
Collapse in a caleidoscope
Of colors and lies; their eyes were blind
I guess we tried.

Girl, you know you're weaker
In your head than in your heart
And I understand your "weaker-thans"
But weak is sure a start.

I'll carry you, I'll marry you
And girl I'll be sure to bury you
We're electric,
We're a testament.

I saw the way
That you were workin' the sunlight
Ivory skin, it paints a picture
As our bodies collide

In the sun, where I'm from
Just to make sure that we're alive
In the rain, you're an angel
In a snowstorm you're a sunbeam

Cause love came out of nowhere
And drove away the dark in me.
