Cut & Run - Civilian

Save for the nature of midnight my eyes are wide

The constant ascent of an intrigue that multiplies

Should the chance to cut and run arise

I’m sticking with you every time

Baby, I care the same way you care

You’re the beginning of the end of me The only thing that ever meant a damn to me The song I sing, the secret that I keep

In the space between my teeth

You’re the only thing I need

Muted drums escape to the balcony

Through reflective glass

The two of us appeared as a picture

Unaware the guests were staring back

And one by one, descending from ten

We took the year and traded it in Then in like kind we started again

You’re the beginning of the end of me The only thing that ever meant a damn to me The song I sing, the secret that I keep

In the space between my teeth

You’re the only thing I need

Normally my heart is the source of my confusion

But it’s a sucker for a backless dress

What a beautiful mess we’ve gotten into

What a beautiful mess

You’re the beginning of the end of me The only thing that ever meant a damn to me The song I sing, the secret that I keep

In the space between my teeth

You’re the only thing I need

You are the sunset, you’re the morning

You’re the time I kill between them

In the depth of a daydream

I awake so I can find you

You are the part of the chorus

Where you close your eyes and breathe

I was overwhelmed when you whispered

I was overcome when you smiled

I was overwhelmed

You’re the beginning of the end of me The only thing that ever meant a damn to me

(I was overcome when you smiled)

The song I sing, the secret that I keep

In the space between my teeth

You’re the only thing I need

(I was overcome when you smiled)

The only thing I need
