I Can't Steal You

hold yourself I'm done
my arms are tired
saw you walking backwards
towards the fire

i'm in love with the red sky
i'm in love with the tragedy
we betray what we can't deny
she believes she needs me

caught a flash
of absolute perfection
shattered light
and dark
in all directions

traffic floats like a ballet
far below in the distance
just as sad as the words we'd say
it's all gone in an instant

it's just so easy, it's hard
it's just so easy, it's hard

hold me closer
I can't feel you
You'll have to trust me
I can't steal you

ash trays lie
like hearts for you to burn in
smoke curls from your mouth
before you turn in

We're in love with a black gun
I see loss in the mundane
in the hours, the minutes run,
they're not so subtle
but they have their way

it's just so easy
it's hard
it's just so easy
it's hard

hold me close,
I can't feel you
you'll have to trust me
I can't steal you
