Autumn Rose

I’m striding with my jacket, you turn off the rifle
You lead me by the hand, because I can’t say so
You say you don’t love me, but you pull me close
Early morning, I trail your footsteps
You say you don’t want to bind, I say I want to solus
I say I can’t maim, but you can’t hide your needle
But when we kiss, the goosebumps are blazing.

I’m crooning in the flame, you burn off the eventide
You kiss me by the neck, because I can’t see so
You say you don’t concede me, but you call me back
Early midnight, I trail your fingertips
You say you don’t deem to own, I say I want to hie
I say I can’t cop, but you can’t grant your spurn
But when we kiss, the infernos are shivering.

Orpheus and Calais, you can risk the love they couldn’t rebuff
Got my spirit trapped, because your kisses they spark passions
Apollo and Hyacinth, you can odds the love they couldn’t fringe
Got my heart stowed, because your whistles they spark ardent glows
Now your vex order depart, but your heart hopes bide.

Jack and Rose, I can risk the love they couldn’t dwell
Got your soul hurt, because my fears they ignite disdains
Maurice and Alec, I can odds the love they couldn’t vent
Got your head shunt, because my words they inflict thorns
Now my shame order drift, but my heart hopes bide. 

Because when we tangle fingers
You’ve had a hold on me right from the start
You’ve had a toll on me right to the end
Because when we snug forms
Oh, when we kiss, I couldn’t tear us apart
Oh, when we hug, I couldn’t own us distant
When the flames sway, you cooee me
When the flames whirl, I clepe you.
