Mallory-Free
I should dedicate this song, but no one smells that good
You have been right all along, no matter where you stood
And, in case you’re unaware,
I don’t lie just anywhere.
Sing your song for me
Come on, Mallory
You can’t stay away
No matter what I say.
An expensive color scheme and a building made of light
Those who mouth away the truth still wrestle it at night
Here’s the imprint of your hand
It’s the tattoo mine demands.
Sing your song for me
Show me, Mallory:
Laughing till we’d bleed
Listening to us breathe.
Who said “it takes a lot to keep a love alive”?
Was that your album or mine?
Such a sorry little cliché
And then we acted it out anyway.
Yeah, I brought this on myself — tell me something I don’t know
But how much venom will you spit without me down below?
I smell freedom in your hair
It’s still lying everywhere
Sing your song for me
Go on, Mallory
I can stay away
No matter what you say.
