Lyrics My Salt Heart - Hue & Cry

My Salt Heart

I make you sweat to know the taste of me
Ain’t nothing sweet about the way that I feel
I’m necessary for you like a chemical
I am the bitterness that you know ever so well
You think I’m a rock but I’m a crumbling man
A few December tears would make the guy right into sand
Call me corrosive but the truth will out
And when we know the truth that’s what we have to be about
Right on the tip of your tongue
Just be finding my salt heart (my heart, my heart yeah)
We come together like stones
Just a-grinding my salt heart
(My salt heart)
I know my properties have limited use
But bring me together with you (baby baby) let me prove
A crucial element I will provide
I’ll give you so much honesty it’s gonna sting your eyes
Right on the tip of your tongue
Just be finding my salt heart (my heart, my heart yeah)
We come together like stones
Just a-grinding my salt heart
(My salt heart)
Right on the tip of your tongue
Be finding my salt heart
Somebody said once if you take the water out
A human body would be nothing but a pile of dirt
And dirt is what I have been before you tried
To bring me back together and make me unified yeah
Make you sweat to know the taste of me
Ain’t nothing sweet about the way that I feel baby
I’m necessary for you like a chemical
I am the bitter, bitterness that you know ever so well
Right on the tip of your tongue
Be finding my salt heart yeah
We come together like stones
Just a-grinding my salt heart, my heart, my heart yeah
Right on the tip of your tongue
Be finding my salt heart (that's my baby)
Come together, come together
Like my salt heart
I make you sweat to know the taste of me
Ain’t nothing sweet about the way that I feel
I’m necessary for you like a chemical
I am the bitter, bitterness that you know ever so well
Right on the tip of your tongue be finding, finding (my salt heart)
We come together like stones just a-grinding, grinding
