Lyrics
There were eyes on fire
And tongues bent on intent
Still inflamed from the last time I went
And her hair and her breath
Just couldn't escape this beautiful mess
And sometimes, it makes me wish I'd left
But I know I'd be missing you
If I left you like I told myself I would long ago
But there are times when like a mirror in my mind
In the reflection I can see the stones we've thrown
Opportunities were gone when you stepped off that concrete porch
I know I need someone to call my own
Demons lingered under streetlights
Hazy in the summer wind
And mocked me, knowing you were gone
Oh, girl, did you just say the words?
You said what I was thinking
