Kiss Me on the Mouth - Michelle Blades

I like the way you’d lean on the wall

The way that your words almost fall

Laid out of your mouth

Laid out of your mouth

And maybe this is nothing

But I ain’t even something

And the story’s always closed

When I need it most

You don’t know me like I know you want to know me

And maybe it could get around

To the other end of town

'Cause I know that you’ll be there

I know that you’ll be there

I just can’t see this through

Lying face to face with you

Tell me why it won’t work

And I’ll tell you why it won’t work

You don’t know me like I know you want to know me

Don’t you believe that the rest is up to me

You feel it in your heart, you can’t stop what you’d start

I don’t believe it’s a family recipe

You’ve been drinking from the well, you’ve been drinking like you’re down

I’ll let you go with your bucket’s full of snow

You blow just like the wind, losing traces of your friends

I don’t believe it’s a family recipe

Was your dad an alcoholic?

A little hyperbolic

I like the way you’d lean on the wall

The way that your words almost fall

Right out of your mouth

Kiss me on the mouth
