Lyrics
We ride in the old leather coffin Cigarette burns on the seats Streetlights stutter on your cheekbones Like a film I shouldn’t see Hands on the dash, coin-tray glitter Your laugh cuts sharp, then sweet You say my name like a warning And I bite down on the heat I’m honey on your tongue I’m prayer in a whisper I get close, then I run Like I’m scared you’ll regret my love Dare you to love me steady Dare you to hold me when I slip Say you can take my damage Then don’t let go, not an inch Yeah I want it, yeah I doubt it Right when it starts to shine So dare you to love me steady Or leave me to my demise Seat foam ripped out in patches Kiss you like a promise in the dark My lipstick on your shirt Nails running cross your scars Radio hits like confession Bassline crawling up my spine I turn it up to drown the part of me That keeps crossing the line I’m sweet with the matchbook Mean with the truth I light up the minute You get close enough to prove Dare you to love me steady Dare you to hold me when I slip Say you can take my damage Then don’t let go, not an inch Yeah I want it, yeah I doubt it Right when it starts to shine So dare you to love me steady Or leave me to my demise Our love is a maze, I sprint to the exit You say “stay,” I hear “test it” I stall at the edges, don’t let you rest I’d rather be sorry than feel caged Kiss tastes like gasoline and faith Foot on the gas, heart on the brakes I’m smiling right before the crash Tell me you still won’t flinch Dare you to love me steady Dare you to hold me when I slip Say you can take my damage Then don’t let go, not an inch Yeah I want it, yeah I doubt it Right when it starts to shine So dare you to love me steady Or don't reach for me again Old leather, cheap perfume Two hearts in a death spiral I keep pushing the good away Just to watch it crawl back Dare you to love me Dare you to love me baby
