Figure 8

Breathe your smoke into my lungs

In the back of a car with you

I stare into the sun

Still not too old to die young

But lovers hold on to everything

And others hold on to anything



I chase your love around a figure 8

I need you more than I can take

You promise forever and a day

And then you take it all away

And then you take it all away



Place a kiss on my cheekbone

Then you vanish me I'm buried in the snow

but something tells me I'm not alone

But lovers hold on to everything

And others hold on to anything



I chase your love around a figure 8

I need you more than I can take

You promise forever and a day

And then you take it all away

And then you take it all away



So lovers hold on to everything

and lovers hold to anything

So lovers hold on to everything

and lovers hold to anything



I chase your love around a figure 8

I need you more than I can take

You promise forever and a day

And then you take it all away

Then you take it all away



I keep runnin', back to the same place

it's a dangerous equation,

but I keep my pace
