Kelley James Marinade
Alone in the dark
Afraid of the light
Can you just stay for half of the night?
I really need it just to live inside these walls
I'm one of those caught in between
What I had said and what I could mean
What is right and what I really think I want
Your kisses like stars aren't for me, aren't for now
They're for anyone who wants to take a look
I'd give anything just to see, just to be under the sky
When midnight comes unhooked
[Chorus]
I need you here
I want you bad
I love the taste of your marinade
So let me marinate
Only once, never again
Why don't we tell all of our friends?
We keep it secret while we're lying in these threads
Only once never again, that's what we said, I won't regret
You treat me like you've always had me here
Shadows hide the real me, the real you
The poison keeps us numb from the truth
I know that you sleep with a clear mind
With my arm across your chest
But when I'm with you, I'm not with you
This malaise will never rest
You rise from the depths with a bottle and a dress
Just enough to make me guess, little preview
I'm staring at the moon while you're doing what you do
And you say you like it too but I can see through
We're Romeo and Juliet mixed with booze and sugar sweat
She says I'm not finished yet, from the gutter to a private jet
Keys on a motel TV set, watching reruns to forget
Choose the wrong fish in the net
That's just what you're gonna get
