"Valens" lyrics

Dashboard Confessional Lyrics

"Valens"
(originally by The Movielife)

I took what I wanted
But I didn't have what I want
Balled up, sprawled out
Flame on the seat of the couch

Seemingly intangible, I cup it
Rekindle it, and ward the wind

I took what I wanted
But I didn't have what I want
Balled up, sprawled out
Seat's aflame on the couch

Seemingly intangible, I cup it
Rekindle it, and ward the wind

We clicked, and I clicked
I pointed, and squinted, and pulled
We clicked, and I clicked
I pointed, squinted, and pulled
And I can never take it back

I live in this heat, I freeze in its wrath
I live in this heat, I can't win
