Warped the Wood Floors - Cursive

When we were burning

These stained walls would swell with passion

Our sweat warped the wooden floorboards

You’d kick out the nightlight

And let the moon bleed through the window

Draping over naked bodies

We’re killing time

Trying to love

What we can’t find

But who does?

A drier heat than we know blistered me badly

We’ve all been burning out

I’ll have a Gibson

My throat is dry from screaming blindly

At the wishing stars that wrecked me

They kinged me naive

Now I keep the nightlight on and watch the sweat drip from the ceiling

These summer nights

The streetlights burst flames

They screech too bright

They scream blind

A drier heat than we know blistered me badly

We’ve all been burning out

A drier heat than we know blistered me badly

We’ve all been burning… out

Warp the wooden floor

Kick out the light, kick off the bedsheets, and let the moon bleed in

Warp the wooden floor

Kick out the light, kick off the bedsheets, and let the moon bleed in
