Lavender & Honey

I want to taste your neck, but the smell of your sweat sends a wave down
Over my head now, and I can't relax
And my heart gets a chill, like you're cooling me down
But all this pressure is building a fracture
I don't sleep so sound

So I will cut my hair to the way that you like
And probably scratch my scalp about a thousand times
Or maybe wear a hat for the rest of my life
Or at least until it grows into a style I think I'd like
That'd be just fine
Yeah that'd be just fine

I want to taste relief, but the scent on the breeze is so sickly
Like lavender and honey
As if you know me

I will take my time, a ship in a bottle
It's a tough act to follow, but a harder pill to swallow
But I don't want to choke
No, I don't want to choke

I can't control you
But you can't console me

So I bound all the pages and burnt the books
The bricks caved in; the gold was meant for fools
Heard whispers in the walls, don't believe in ghosts
Just the lingering things I can't control
