Your mouth, it is an ocean But your eyes, they are a storm And though not a word's been spoken I feel I have been warned For there's a cardinal in the dogwood There's a raven in the air But this ballroom is full of vultures Why would I ever meet you there That kind of laughter brings uneasiness Like teardrops on a summer dress Like that little lie you won't confess Left a buzzin' in your spine So forgive me if my heads a mess Or if my cadence lacks some confidence I'm just leaning on that splintered fence Wondering what's on the other side So if the trumpets sound like trouble And the cello sounds like tears Then why is everybody talking With their fingers in their ears 'Cause the drums are distant gunfire And the voices shattered hearts But the harmony like honey Sweetly binds us at the start That kind of laughter brings uneasiness Like teardrops on a summer dress Like that little lie you won't confess Left a buzzin' in your spine So forgive me if my heads a mess Or if I'm just not making any sense I'm just climbing up that splintered fence Tryin to get to the other side To the other side
