Be No Rain - Suck the Surface Lyrics

The retina opens like a lily to the heat.
Fingers prints dissolving are the ones I wanna keep.
I saw a constellation when I held you to the light.
You said suck the surface if you wanna do it right.
You wanna do it right for me?

I knew it was dawn before the sun began to rise.
Every passing second changed the colour of your eyes.
Yea, we were taking shape babe,
We were contours in the dark.
You said that some piece of us would never come apart.
And you'd become a part of me.

But I've got half a mind,
That's half a mind worth keeping.
And then half a mind
That does not bear repeating.
Ooh I've got half a mind.
If half a mind's so harmless
Then I'll leave behind
The fading strains of calmness in mine.

Show me what you're working with,
Show me where it hurts,
Underneath the awning where the city meets the dirt.
Now every lie I've ever heard still echoes in my mind,
You said you'd be waiting if I wanna do it right.
You wanna do it right for me?

Wrap the world around my waist
Or keep me out of reach,
As the congregation races down onto the beach.
At least there is a piece of me I'll always get to hide.
You said suck the surface if you wanna do it right.
You wanna do it right for me?

But I've got half a mind,
That's half a mind worth keeping.
And then half a mind
That does not bear repeating.
Ooh I've got half a mind.
If half a mind's so harmless
Then I'll leave behind
The fading strains of calmness in mine.
