Left your house last night
Late in the hours of a lonely light –
Us two against the world’s arriving flood.
Even when you say
“Love’s just a drug,”
Still we swallow like good mice.
Why do I care?
You haven’t failed me twice.
And they say we should know better,
But I sold my soul, so I don’t know
Love, love rise up,
Love, love pull me down.
Left it on a pause,
Dragging your jeans through a thick applause –
The grammar’s foreign and a blood of sorts.
You’re lovely when you sport
The latest hue of mercy –
And other virtues will be missed, indeed.
And they say we have no manners,
But I close my ears, have no fear.
Love, oh love, rise up,
Love, oh love, pull me down.
Love, love rise up,
Love, love pull me down.
Love, love rise up,
Love, love pull me down.
