In My Veins

Open up, let me in
Let me show you how we were meant to be
Let me bleed, let me mend
I’ve got knives inside and they’re killing me
You’re the last good fight I ever lost
I’m a blood red scar on your memory
But I’ll break all your fears
And kiss you to tears
Every best-laid plan is a tragedy

I want you...
I want you right back here in my veins
No...I won’t let go
I want you right back here in my veins

Hey take off the face
I knew you when you were nothing more than a footnote
No one cared...I was there
All your backstage demons gotta go
I don’t wanna play games with you anymore
I’m not here for a show
‘Cause God only knows
You’re the one twist I wasn’t ready for

I want you...
I want you right back here in my veins
Oh you cut me down
I want you right back here in my veins
And I don’t want to fight about it
I can’t change you
And you won’t change me
But I...I want you
I want you...

Come on, knock me back down
You know you wanna try
We can start it over

I want you...
I want you right back here in my veins
You...you’re all I know
I want you right back here in my veins
And I don’t want to fight about it
I can’t change you
And you won’t change me
But I...I want you
I want you.
Yeah, I want you
Right back here in my veins
