The Dregs Lyrics

Your Flame

Player Requires Javascript

(for Chad)

There have been mountains of mistakes

Three or four major heartbreaks

Lonely fights, bare-knuckle nights

And never-gonna-be-able-to-face-the-light-of-days

I’ll keep my feet hot to your flame

I’ll keep my lips whispering your name

I will keep my lion’s roar

My feeling-too-poor

Running down the drain

And I will not chase after them most of the time

Darling, please keep on being mine

Too many off-key siren songs

Were followed with, Why’d you do me wrong?

Old regrets grew into spoiled pets

They tore up all our days and left our hearts a mess

Our heart’s a mess

I’ll keep my feet hot to your flame

I’ll keep my lips whispering your name

I will keep my lion’s roar

My feeling-too-poor

Running down the drain

And I will not chase after them most of the time

Darling, please keep on being mine

What about all the paragraphs we left unsaid?

The I’ll-do-whatever-it-takes we left for dead?

I’ve lain awake

I could not shake

Wondering if your thirst would ever slake mine

Or would mine slake yours?

Will my thirst slake yours?

I’ll keep my feet hot to your flame

I’ll keep my lips whispering your name

I will keep my lion’s roar

My feeling-too-poor

Running down the drain

Down the drain
