Mercury

(joe whyte)
Left stranded on your couch, just dreaming about your mouth, the way you sing and one more drink
These days are all spare change just dropped in disarray
It takes photographs to make us think

We’re mercury, rising just to fall
And perfectly content to lose it all


This love is like a curse, frustrating and absurd
You’re my 1918
Excuses wear me down, drive me straight out of town
But I’m back before I even leave

We’re mercury, rising just to fall
And perfectly aware we’ll lose it all


Love, we never seem to fit
With hearts so big and skins too thin


We’re mercury, rising just to fall
And perfectly content to lose it all
