Snake Bite lyrics

[Jared Benjamin]
Every drop of blood in my body screams for you
If I still had the means to sleep I dream of you
Saying that “I love you” doesn’t feel right; such an understatement poisons me like a snake bite, I might make up an excuse not to work and just stay with you

Only 23 when we met yet you were 21, knew you through a friend of a friend who said don’t try your luck
I knew what I wanted, I knew right when we started but in your early twenties two years can mean a f*ckin’ lot
Didn’t know how to react I was honest
Told you what wanted to let you settle on it
Three weeks in you said to me “I never had the room to breathe, I never lived this life for me, or ask what I wanted”

On those stairs, I bit my tongue
If I spoke, you would’ve f*ckin’ run

Every drop of blood in my body screams for you

If I still had the means to sleep I dream of you

Saying that “I love you” doesn’t feel right; such an understatement poisons me like a snake bite
I might make up an excuse not to work and just stay with you

Love is like the apple from the garden, just one bite, you’re f*cked
Said that we would stick it out till Friday for the next three months
Waited for the day when I wouldn’t have to pretend when saying those three words wouldn’t make you wanna up and run

Bravely, take it
I could wait, f*ck waiting
You have one shot: to make this or break this, just say it
Just say it
Just say it

Every drop of blood in my body screams for you. Screams for you
If I still had the means to sleep I dream of you. I dream of you
Saying that “I love you” doesn’t feel right; such an understatement poisons me like a snake bite I might make up an excuse not to work and just stay with you. Stay with you

Next thing I kn~ow, I’m ho~ldng you clo~se. With water on your cheeks you whisper to me

[Elizabeth]
Every drop of blood in my body screams for you

If I still had the means to sleep I dream of you

[Both]
Saying that “I love you” doesn’t feel right; such an understatement poisons me like a snake bite, I might make up an excuse not to work and just stay with you. Stay with you
