Lyrics This Is For Keeps - The Spill Canvas

This Is For Keeps

The streets are dark, my pulse is flat-lined as I’m running to you
You sit completely unaware of what I’m about to do
The air is thick with tension much like when we are together
My fangs are aching as I’m pondering about you and I forever
As I round your corner
I am nervous that you won’t be my lover
I knock three times and hope that my pale complexion won’t blow my cover
You answer the door with your innocent face
Would you like to leave this human race, tonight?
Eternity will never be enough for me
And eternally we’ll live our infallible love
My brain is pumping an unusual secretion of lust
Your eyes are softer now
And your chin, it drips a bloody color of rust
I am raising up the stakes of this round, I am playing for keeps
Oh, would you like to leave this human race, tonight?
Follow me into the sea
We’ll drown together and immortalize you and me
Leave behind this lonely town
We’re both better than this, it’s not worth being down
