Seven Hours

You said I’m all you ever needed
But you don’t want me all the time
Imagine us living by a river
I was your shotgun bride

James was telling secrets
And you held my fingers
As you drive me away
Tie me up again, bribe me away

You said she’s all you ever needed
We’re just strangers with copper bindings
Need you to give me back my lungs
So my body can forgive me slow

And I can fight this with my hands
But my head won’t let me, you’re still here

I know that you’ve seen all the ways that my body can talk
But I never heard it like, I never heard it like that
So far from your hands, before, now I’m telling it was more
The binds are tight as we bite our tongue again

You said she’s all you ever needed
We’re just strangers with copper bindings
Need you to give me back my lungs
So my body can forgive me slow

And I can fight this with my hands
But my head won’t let me, you’re still here

I know that you’ve seen all the ways that my body can talk
But I never heard it like, I never heard it like that

And I can fight this with my hands
But my head won’t let me, you’re still here
