Hawthorne Heights
Speeding Up the Octaves
[Verse 1: JT Woodruff, with Casey Calvert]
Just light the match and run, run from all those times
She poured gasoline and by fire’s light she cried
She cried all night, the salt from her tears rusted shut her eyes
She should have shut her eyes

[Verse 2: JT Woodruff]
Turn off the lights, blow out the candles tonight
Romance this chance to set angels to flight before they die

[Chorus: JT Woodruff, with Casey Calvert, Matt Ridenour]
I’ll take this ink from my arms and write your name in the sky
Please, don't use my letters to start your fires this time
Your fires this time!
Your fires this time!

[Verse 3: JT Woodruff]
Please, drive faster, faster than the light
Erase her embrace, erase it from your mind, let this die

[Chorus: JT Woodruff, with Casey Calvert]
I’ll take this ink from my arms and write your name in the sky
Please, don't use my letters to start your fires this time

[Bridge: JT Woodruff, with Casey Calvert]
Remember oceans like times together
Across these oceans I sent my letters
I sent these letters to you
Remember oceans and time together in my mind
Remember starting your fires off my eyes
[Breakdown: Casey Calvert]
Eyes!
Eyes!

[Outro: JT Woodruff]
Remember these oceans like fires off your eyes
