Covered in Bruises by The Ready Aim Fire! Lyrics

Then the drinks sank in
And we drowned in them
My hip dug into your side
There were ghosts dancing under streetlights
And they were singing, "I was in love once
Yeah, yeah, I was in love once."

And the smoke rolled out your mouth
Like a girl I sang about
But now every word is hollowed out
Like echoes in an empty house

Yeah, I was in love once
And it was nothing like this
But I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind

And we detoxed in your bed
Til it soaked through the mattress
You thought the world had ended
So you slipped out of your dress
You were covered in bruises
That you don't even try, that you don't even try to hide, yeah
Well, we tried to quit
Til we ached for it
Til the heat burned through our clothes
Our shadows were pulsing with the lights
The ghosts were screaming all their lines
But their voices sound, oh, yeah, they sound just like our own

Singing, "This is a shell of a building
This is a frame of a bed
This is a silhouette of sex
With no context, with no context."
And your nails dug into my back
"Baby, the world has ended
And we, we fell through the cracks, yeah."

Oh, if there is a heaven
We would never have got in
We're both covered in bruises
That we don't have to try to hide
