Matt Skiba & The Sekrets “You” Video
Its alive once again
I feel it pounding in my chest and it hurts like it should
A sharp pain that feels so good
With your arms ‘round my neck leaving me a melting wreck
Now with you by my side I can breathe once again I have nothing to hide
And You – I watched you dancing, you
Out of the ashes, you – dreams of demons kissing in the fire so deeply
You – ya found me hopeless
You – ya gave me solace
You – dying for your kiss I can’t imagine my life without you
Its alive once again
I feel it pounding in my head and it kills all the pain
It’s been powerless vicodin with your hands on my face
Pulling me out of my hiding place with your mouth upon mine
I can breathe once again I do nothing but smile
And you – I watched you dancing
You – out of the ashes, you – dreams of demons kissing in the fire so deeply
You – ya found me hopeless
You – ya gave me solace
you – I’m dying for your kiss I can’t imagine my life without you
Dance with me, dance with me, dance with me
you’re the name of the place where time stands still
Dance with me, dance with me, dance with me
Dismembering this memory its true, I lost myself in you
You – I watched you dancing you
You – out of the ashes
You – Dreams of demons kissing in the fire so deeply
You – ya found me hopeless
You – ya gave me solace
you – I’m dying for your kiss, I can’t imagine my life without you
I’ve got a book of matches I’ve got a can of…
I’ve got a book of matches I’ve got a can of kerosene
I’ve got some mad ideas involving you and me
I don’t blame you for walking away I touched myself at thoughts of flames
I shat the bed and laid there in it thinking of you wide awake for days
Wide awake for days
And I found you tongue-tied, my twisted little brain
You couldn’t crack a smile I didn’t catch your name
I don’t blame you for walking away I’d do the same if I saw me
I swear it’s not contagious in four short steps we can erase this
Step one, slit my throat step two, play in my blood
Step three, cover me in dirty sheets and run laughing out of the house
Step four, stop off at Edge brook Creek and rinse your crimson hands
You took me hostage and made your demands
I couldn’t meet them so you cut off my fingers, one by one
One by one
I’m like a broken record I’ve got a needle scratching me
It injects the poison of alcohol I.V.
I don’t blame you for walking away I’d do the same if I saw me
I swear it’s not contagious I swear to God it’s not contagious
Step one, slit my throat step two, play in my blood
Step three, cover me in dirty sheets and run laughing out of the house
Step four, stop at Lake Michigan and rinse your crimson hands
You took me hostage and made your demands
I couldn’t meet them so you cut off my fingers, one by one
This could be love
(Love for fire)
This could be love
(Love for fire)
This could be love for fire for ever more
Step one, slit my throat step two, play in my blood
Step three, cover me in dirty sheets and run laughing out of the house
Step four, stop at Berkeley Marina and rinse your crimson hands
You took me hostage and made your demands
I couldn’t meet them so you cut off my fingers, one by one
One by one
Choking slowly, broken heartedDon’t look now, here’s…
Choking slowly, broken hearted
Don’t look now, here’s what you started
I swore I’d be there ‘til the end, we’re bitter now but better friends
I climbed out limbless to the ledge to bask in my last true regret
You had time to waste and I’m not sorry, such a basket…
You had time to waste and I’m not sorry,
such a basket case, hide the cutlery.
I had time to kill, it’s dead and buried.
You’ve got guts to spill but no one trustworthy.
There are things that used to make me smile One of them was you…
There are things that used to make me smile
One of them was you for just a little while
You left me for dead so far away
I replaced you with fear and shame
You’ll be happy on the day I die
There are things that used to make me laugh
But now they’re deeply buried in the past
I left them there so far away
Replaced my humor with my pain
I’ll be happy on the day it dies
Remember when I said I love you
Well, forget it I take it back
I was just a stupid kid back then
I take back every word that I said
There are things that used to make you cry
One of them was me for just a little while
Why is it that you had to say
Goodbye in your special way
You slashed the tires on my car
Remember when I said I love you
Well, forget it I take it back
I was just a stupid kid back then
I take back every word that I said
Remember when I said I love you
Well, go ahead I take it back
I was just a stupid kid back then
I take back every word that I said
