lyrics

"Punch Drunk"

An ocean of time,
a child's nursery rhyme
I speak to you, saying you're still young
you know you're in your prime

On and on, though the fire may be gone,
I won't believe, what you had wasn't
something you were meant to keep

Be my guest, better than the rest,
Write me a poem,
I could keep it in my pocket
I could do my best

To see the lines, staying in 4/4 time,
What's in between,
is something only you could've set to flame

You always beat me to the punch,
Spike it with a drop of blood,
Keep me drunk my love
Pull the shade and count your stars,
Put my weak heart behind the bars
Lock me up for good

Rip the page, is it really all that strange,
No consequence, for a life unchanged at the palace gates

Me in rags, you're heels they drag,
The river bed, the ships they weep for their fallen prey

Good things come,
To those who never,
Learn to wait,
For things matter,
You're too late,
To make me see

You always beat me to the punch,
Spike it with a drop of blood,
Keep me drunk my love
Pull the shade and count your stars,
Put my weak heart behind the bars
Lock me up for good
