lyrics
violent and charged and alive
the child was the calm at the center
where we could both breathe and everything was alright
your fire felt like passion
the blisters felt like love
you burned off all the oxygen
and left me lightheaded and high
what we had felt like enough
i saved your life again and again
drunk and in the thrall of your touch
i saved your life again and again
once was too much
once was too much
i lied to the doctor, i lied to police
to hide who you really are
i was trying to keep our family together
no such thing as going too far
and when you had no one else left to defend you
and everything solid turned to sand
you grabbed the child by the hand
left me sleeping in bed
and under cover of a dark and moonless night
you ran
i saved your life again and again
drunk and in the thrall of your touch
i saved your life again and again
once was too much
once was too much
no ransom demand
no chance for return
you took gasoline and match to my life
just to dance as it burned
now i’m on I-95
it’s dark and i’m alone
mr state trooper, please just let me go
just let me go
i saved your life again and again
i always kept you safe
i saved your life again and again
what a terrible mistake
what a terrible mistake
