Rust and Roses

[Verse] Saw you down by the tracks shadows whisperin' pain Gave me that look like thunder in the rain Hearts beatin' raw on a rusted spine Thoughts tangled in thorns darlin' make you mine [Verse 2] Dirt beneath our nails stories etched on our skin Broken bottles ‘neath the bridge where our love’d begin Eyes like razor blades cut through the night A faded polaroid of a life takin' flight [Chorus] Rust and roses crumble to the ground Love like fire don’t make a sound Crushed dreams in an alleyway But your kiss sweeps it all away [Verse 3] Buildin' castles with our fragile hopes Layin' under stars on the tightrope slope Hands clasped tight like a vice in the cold Dancin' on the edge hearts uncontrolled [Bridge] Echoes in the underpass voices fade out Whispered promises shadowed by doubt But we shout in the silence scream in the night Ashes to ashes our love is bright [Chorus] Rust and roses crumble to the ground Love like fire don’t make a sound Crushed dreams in an alleyway But your kiss sweeps it all away
