Yellow dress, a white smile. Laughter in your eyes I haven't seen for awhile. With your broken jaw you can barely speak. I'm thinking that's the best for you and me. When life comes to meet us We'll be holding out our hands to greet. Every followed misdirection every broken heart we'll never meet, we'll never seek. Oh short life I'm on your side and we're running faster, now slow it down. Don't jump, don't scream your evils You'll wake up with regrets you can't ignore. Subtle mess, a raging fire. The weapon is your words they do the deed as liars. The field's been burned the harvest done I think we'll start it up As soon as winter's gone. When life comes to meet us We'll be holding out our hands to greet. Every followed misdirection every broken heart we'll never meet, we'll never seek. Oh short life I'm on your side and we're running faster, now slow it down. Don't jump, don't scream your evils You'll wake up with regrets you can't ignore. With regrets you can't ignore a tempered spirit gone so long. Shattered, shattered put back the pieces. Some are missing some are forever gone.
