Sara Bareilles Salt Then Sour Then Sweet (feat. Brandi Carlile)
[Intro: Sara Bareilles]
Mm
[Verse 1: Sara Bareilles]
Give me the light years
But I want the dark ones too
Grief is the singer in my band
She's a passenger van
And a shortcut straight to the truth
Learn from the nightshades
They grow in the darkest places
Had we not been stung so many times
Would we ever have arrived
At this heaven on Earth that I don't wanna waste
[Pre-Chorus: Sara Bareilles]
Pick a lucky penny up
And I'll marry you for your money, love
[Chorus: Sara Bareilles & Brandi Carlile]
So keep the Novocain out of my wisdom teeth, wanna feel it all
Salt, then sour, then sweet
Wanna kiss you and write love's name on my crumbling walls
Lay them at your feet
With the rest of me
Salt, then sour, then sweet
[Verse 2: Brandi Carlile]
Come to the porch, love
Look up at the perfect sky
Holding the sun and the moon and the thunder in June
While it teaches the birds and the rain how to fly
I don't need perfect
No, I just wanna touch the truth
I wanna cherish the trying and the living and dying
And make big mistakes the way kind people do
[Pre-Chorus: Sara Bareilles & Brandi Carlile]
Pick a lucky penny up
And I'll marry you for your money, love
[Chorus: Both, Sara Bareilles & Brandi Carlile]
So keep the Novocain out of my wisdom teeth, wanna feel it all
Salt, then sour, then sweet
Wanna kiss you and write love's name on my crumbling walls
Lay them at your feet
With the rest of me
Nothing more I need (Nothing more I need)
Life is love I bleed (Life is)
Salt, then sour, then sweet
[Outro: Sara Bareilles, Brandi Carlile & Both]
So sweet (So sweet)
So sweet
Life is love, oh
So sweet (So sweet)
So sweet
