Ava Valianti

Lyrics

Piggy back
Over poison ivy
You get brushed a thousand times
But I’m above you, flying

Double feature
Outdoor screens
Reruns, new ones, going steady
What does it all mean?

If we cut to the chase would I still be running
Would it all fall apart as I left you there
If I stopped biting my tongue could I ever stop twisting your words so I wouldn’t have to care
You are habit, I am pain
Conversation with the rain

Hurt me, baby
With your smile
Please don’t trust me when I say
I can go another mile

I’ll break my heart
To stop your bleeding
But I can’t let you in my mind
No, can’t give you that vision

If we cut to the chase would I still be running
Would it all fall apart as I left you there
If I stopped dragging my feet would you understand me or would you still believe my goods were rare
You are content, I’m unmoored
Conversation with the storm

If we cut to the chase would I still be running
Would it all fall apart as I left you there
If I stopped trying so hard would it all fade away, would it even be fair?
You shouldn’t take what I gave
Conversation with the grave
