"Wine Stained Lips" lyrics

"Wine Stained Lips"

You said you'd always be there for me
You said you'd always be in my life
But now, oh now you're chasing dragons instead
They told me I was chasing the moon
I should have listened up, I'm a fool
A fool tangled up in your web

All for the taste of some wine stained lips
Two hundred miles just to get my fix
This shouldn't be, it shouldn't be
You're bringing me down and I need to get some sleep

Nine miles to happiness
I know because I've been there before
Nine miles to happiness
I got something to live for

Please tell me old friend
Did you find what you were looking for?
I'd like to tell you that without you
I'm so happy I could die

All for the taste of some wine stained lips
Two hundred miles just to get my fix
This shouldn't be, it shouldn't be
You're bringing me down and I need to get some sleep

Nine miles to happiness
I know because I've been there before
Nine miles to happiness
I got something to live for
Nine miles to happiness
I know because I've been there before
Nine miles to happiness
I got something to live for

It seems that I can't count
All the roads that I've been down
And it seems that I can't count
All the towns that I've drowned in and burned to the ground
But oh, what a find, when I found this fine place
So full of style
And second hand love so incredibly cheap
I stayed for nine months and I stayed for nine weeks

Nine miles to happiness
I know because I've been there before
Nine miles to happiness
I got something to live for
Nine miles to happiness
I know because I've been there before
Nine miles to happiness
I got something to live for
