Mew – “White Lips Kissed” Lyrics

Wake me up
Only nightmares take me in
Through these walls the winter bites
A draft from all sides
Why did you not include me on your list?
Let me in through the ceiling
White lips kissed

Our love is a fickle love
Keeps itself locked in a suitcase
To be ready to go
Always

I wonโ€™t cry when the silver lining shows
But youโ€™re right
You understand
You ride with both hands
Worrying is the breathing that you need
So there wonโ€™t be far to fall
You mustnโ€™t climb tall

Things that are supposed to mean lots
Leave you cold
And with a malady of the soul

Our love is a tricky love
Bet you know this
Bet you noticed
Bet you know, which is why

I should know better than anyone ever could
Soon as I let go
Everything falls apart

I wonโ€™t cry when the silver lining shows
But youโ€™re right
You understand
You ride with both hands
Worrying is the breathing that you need
So there wonโ€™t be far to fall
You mustnโ€™t climb tall

Wake me up
Only nightmares take me in
Through these walls the winter bites
A draft from all sides
Of course you can
There are diamonds in demand
Itโ€™s a shame and as you know
The stain will not go
