kiss me by the couplet


Take me to the mountains so I don't drown in a wall, Break my heart open so you can see it all, I need a short while to see what’s over that hill, I won’t ever rest unless I can get my fill, You sleep with a dagger and you bring me home, But soon I’ll find out that you were meant to roam, You were meant to roam. Kiss me by the couplet and we'll have enough time, To get over one another and see we don't rhyme, I told you what was loving and what couldn’t be found, And you broke my nose without even a sound, I carry all your trouble with a frame on my head, But soon I'll find out that you're already dead, You're already dead.
