lyrics

inside the land mine inside my heart
you slide the safety, shoulder the charge
so I can breathe

I disarm wildly, you fire sweet
beastly, these outbursts of almighty heat
that light the stars

& you, come hell or high water

I come home broken, bruised like a peach
you make a fruit pie & two whiskeys neat
like summertime

you make a promise, I'll make a vow
each cup of coffee, each eyelash down
an offering

this house will crumble, this dock will cave
weak from the pressure but dauntless,
we'll brave the undertow

& you, come hell or high water
