Lyrics
You look at me like a snake in a tree.
You're ready to strike, and it's alright.
You look at me--I'm an apple, I am Eve.
Time to leave, sweet surprise,
skipping out of paradise.
You took your cue from a pretty rib-bone
you want to own,
got my number in your cell phone.
You, no, you're not blameless.
Took a read fruit kiss from my lips.
You've been dreaming about this.
And we're falling gracefully,
shoulders to the storm that would tear us both apart.
And we're falling gracefully,
windbreakers to the storm
and eviction notice hearts.
You look at me.
I'm a fig-leaf tease--
time to leave, wave goodbye and drop your keys.
You put an original spin on sin.
Throw caution to the wind.
You know I'd do it all again.
And we're falling gracefully,
shoulders to the storm that would tear us both apart.
And we're falling gracefully,
windbreakers to the storm
and eviction notice hearts.
