She said I want a real rose
Colours that everyone knows
The dust kicked up from your shoes
Floats like angelical moons
Silhouettes in the corners of your mind
Sublime like the cracks of your smile
Pray that I'll keep you covered
Collapse the trees that shudder

Bleach the colour from your clothes
Believe your lover cos she knows
Bleed the blood from your bones
A two-tone baby stealing love from a stone

Stone
Brave for the time spent alone
I've waited for you to wander
To justify your needs to squander
You claimed me like a trophy
Distracted ever so slowly
I'll make it up to you one day
Promise I won't wish it away
The island that we live on
Crumbled like lost devotion

Bleach the colour from your clothes
Believe your lover cos she knows
Bleed the blood from your bones
A two-tone baby stealing love from a stone

Stone
Brave for the time spent alone
Do you love her skin
So frail you'll never make it divine
Fooling around
This is for life, this is for life
Summer skin
So pale it's just a speck in your eyes
Splitting light
This is for life, this for life

Life
Stone
Brave for the time spent alone
