The Charlatans
Lips That Would Kiss
I've tasted too much, I swallowed hard
I made you promise now I discard
This imagery may leave you scarred
I kissed your best friend
In my back yard

I don’t blame myself for this
I blame myself for this

I stake my claim
As I dance through the woods in the rain
I let my guard down
This will not last forever
Your sweet talk may endeavour
And only waves of joy will stop me in my bliss
Inviting not fighting

I watched you dream an endless dream
To stop you screaming to help you scram
I hesitate as you undress
It's just a pause of consciousness

I stake my claim
As I dance through the woods in the rain
I took my chances
This will not last forever
Your sweet talk may endeavour
And we are glued together at least in my mind
Inviting not fighting
I stake my claim
As I dance through the woods in the rain
I took my chances
This will not last forever
Your sweet talk may endeavour
And only waves of joy will stop me in my bliss
Inviting not fighting

Lips that would kiss
