Halflight

from Bittersweet by Juliana Finch

lyrics

You only see her in the halflight
It's just enough to travel by
Never get to kiss her before midnight
When she wants you, she'll just pick a fight
She knows you're gonna let it slide
You can be wrong to make her feel right

Maybe it ain't love, but it can be enough for now
Trying to fill you up from an empty cup It's only gonna let you down

She can be a runaway train
She's a fire in the vein
A siren when she says your name
When she says your name

Her love letters give you paper cuts
Words cool to the touch
Full of promises you shouldn't trust
She'll back down if you need too much
Leave you standing in the dust
You wonder why you keep it up

Maybe it ain't love, but it can be enough for now
Trying to fill you up from an empty cup It's only gonna let you down

She can be a runaway train
She's a fire in the vein
A siren when she says your name

So you think the wax on your wings will be enough to pull you into the sun
You're drawn in, feel the warmth on your skin
Until you come undone, until you come undone, until you come undone

She can be a runaway train She's a fire in the vein
A siren when she says your name
She can be a runaway train She's a fire in the vein
A siren when she says your name
When she says your name

You only see her in the halflight
It's just enough to travel by
