Lyrics
Talk slow loud
You say you're tired of talking
Fast in the train
You like to sleep so often
Blood on the wall
Please leave the last three words
You say you're fine
But every word comes buried
When the drugs start working
You stop asking if I'm sure
You lean into my shoulder
Like we've never met before
When the drugs start working
They come back and they come
You finally say you love me
I breathe like rain doesn't burn
Phone lights up
You turn your face down smiling
Jaw unclenched
Yes, I'll stop the sirens
You trace my hand
Draw circles on my wrist bone
You breathe so deep
Like you forgot you're not alone
When the drugs start working
You stop pacing in your head
You hold me to the mattress
Like it's safe to share a bed
When the drugs start working
You call me by my middle name
It's like you're bound to my life
If I just stay the same
I don't know which part is you
Which part is colored in
But I'll hold both versions
'Til the ceiling starts to spin
If morning steals your courage
I'll still be right here, hurting
Waiting for that moment when the drugs stop working
When the drugs start working
You let every shadow go
You dance aside in silence
Like the past ain't in control
When the drugs start working
You keep your language in shape
And I hate that little time
Before the love it has to fake
