17 Days ft. Avon Junkies Lyrics

It's a two thimble night as you're stuck on your flight

Going hours and miles away

You're in some other place as I dream of your face

And I'm fading into the day

You're my match, you're my muse, you're the poison I choose

You're the light from my phone in the night

You're the calm, you're the storm, you're what keeps me warm

When the darkness fades into the light

I promised I'd write, every day, every night

All the secrets that cower inside of me

I'll make up for the days in some similar ways

Scrawling words this digital diary

I'm not sure that I've ever been this keen or clever

You draw words from me, deep from this well

But I cannot pretend that I want it to end

(And it can't s'far as my heart can tell)

See, my heart and my mind? Well they fight all the time

But you know, in the end who will win

You say, "Give me your mind, and I'll give you mine"

As you're holding my heart with a grin

While you're walking the streets, as your hollow heart beats

I can tell you it won't beat alone

Cause by now it's quite clear I'll be waiting right here

When you find your way back to this home

Here are 17 ways that I love you

In these 17 days that I wait

In my eyes there is no one above you

What can I say?

I'm tired, I'm sick, won't you kidnap me quick

Show me many a beautiful place

We'll see all the sights as we spend all the nights

Deep in each other's embrace

Well the hours, they creep as you're fighting off sleep

Just to drink down each moment we steal

Watching each line on your face as you try

To mask things you could never conceal

Trace back to your eyes that could never disguise

All the fury and fire within

I could swim in those pools, steal those emerald jewels

And never return them again

"Love me, no punches", and I'll love you bunches

But maybe a bite now and then

I'm tough but I'm gentle, a touch, maybe, mental

But you won't have love like this again

I love you bunches, but don't pull your punches

I long for each scrape and each bruise

I need every slap, every stroke, every smack

To remind me of my right to choose

Blood-soaked and shrouded, the future is clouded

But as long as you love me it's clear

You got me, you get me, for as long as you let me

I'll always have my love waiting here

Here are 17 ways that I love you

In these 17 days that you're gone

In my heart there is no one above you

What can go wrong?

Awake and alone with my ear to my phone

Playing melodies distant but true

The intent in your voice fights a pain without choice

But I'm set to sink deeper in you

I want all your bad, all your ugly, your sad

All your hopes, all your fears, all your dreams

I'll consume all your pain as you open your veins

And bleed out all your dark, scarlet screams

I'll pretend that you're here as I'm holding back tears

Lost in thought as I'm sprawled 'cross your bed

There is no way to sleep as I hear your phone beep

Echoing through my poor, worried head

I'm constantly caught 'tween the light and the dark

And the glimpses that I let you see

I'm not sure that Im willing to let you catch this spilling

Emotion that's inside of me

Fuck all this timing, it never aligning

The hours I wait for a word...

My doubt is consuming; the worst always looming

Until I hear "sup babygirl"

Here are 17 ways that I love you

In these 17 days that I wait

In my heart there is no one above you

What can I say?

This last ones by hand- in six hours, you'll land

I can barely contain my excitement

After seventeen days navigating this maze

I admit that I'm anxious, but frightened

You've morphed me, you've changed me, completely rearranged me

What's left is right, up's become down

Through all consolations, anguish and affirmations

All I know is I need you around

It has felt like a year that you haven't been here

So I'm not sure how it all will play out

But these few things left true- I will always love you

That is one thing I never could doubt

Here are 17 ways that I love you

In those 17 days you were gone

In my soul there is nothing but to love you

What could go wrong...
