Sweet Vampires lyrics - Alkaline Trio

You were the downright all time love of my life

You showed up, and showed me so wrong, you were right

Alone in this ocean, floating in the moonlight

At home with the notion it's me, myself, and I

I was the live fast, car crash, Mulholland Drive

Open the flood gates, this love-hate is making me cry

But tears fill the tub with the blood from your wrist that night

If we should live forever

Like sweet vampires

When we can reign together

Our own empire

Now we should try to sever

All our past ties

But it's me and you

And the skies are blue

Both bleeding from our eyes

I was a love-sick, dumb dick, top off the stock

Came to shove, when you push and locked his keys in his car

I feel like an animal that's been kicked around too long

An eel whose electric circuitry has been wired all wrong

If we should live forever

Like sweet vampires

When we can reign together

Our own empire

Now we should try to sever

All our past ties

But it's me and you

And the skies are blue

Both bleeding from our eyes

Now where the hell have you

Gone off and flown away to

Some shit hole you call home (some asshole)

Told me I won't survive

Somehow, I'm scraping by

We're reduced to ruin

Rubble, rags and bones

If we should live forever

Like sweet vampires

When we can reign together

Our own empire

Now we should try to sever

All our past ties

But it's me and you

And the skies are blue

Both bleeding from our eyes

Both bleeding from our eyes

Both bleeding from our eyes

Both bleeding from our eyes

Both bleeding from our eyes
