Down Low

she smelled like chemical from another time
raised up the hackles in back of my mind
it like to tear me in two
make the past get me and the future get you
but when things threaten to harden my heart
it's always you that melts it back apart
and when things get a little too ghostly
i'm not alone
so come on, dance with me,
put your hands up high,
and your guard down low

for every dreamer there's a thousand sharks
might sound jaded but baby, that's art
a scar's a scar, and armor gets thick
the way to stay happy is to forget quick
and when things threaten to harden my heart
it's always you that melts it back apart
and when things get a little too ghostly
i'm not alone
so come on dance with me
put your hands up high
and your guard down low

now i only want what's real
but fake makes a constant appeal
icy layers start a wave
as the crack and calve away
cuz when things threaten to harden my heart
it's always you that melts it back apart
and when things get a little too ghostly
i'm not alone
so come on dance with me
put your hands up high
and your guard down low
