Ashes and wine

We've been ashes and wine all our lives,
Baby, we had no chance, you and I,
This was an off track road, another sign
Followed and gone wrong, we had no chance,
It's all just ashes and wine;

I'm waking up to your face wondering what's next,
Is there any chance I can ever forget?
You are waiting and waiting when I just want to leave,
Baby, this had no chance, there's no life here,
Not for you and me;

It's just another day, I need to drag myself out of bed,
You're still there, somewhere, in the back of my head,
I open another bottle, drown sorrows I do not know,
5 bottles later, I find you've come home,
A bottle opener later, you find me bleeding, alone.

Stubs strewn across the floor, the ashes all over me
I'm still craving more, another bottle won't hurt me,
Why don't you just stay away, there is no chance,
Baby, at the end of the day,
We're all just ashes and wine.

Speed

A shot of whiskey free flowing -
So much that you get bored,
That you don't feel the need to put in effort
Then you wonder why I left other men before.

A quick light in a fast night
Too fast that you feel the need to be alone,
That you don't feel the need to share a bed
Because vulnerability was never a part of life before.

Another shot, another light, our hands touch,
Fingers collide with skin,
Yours undo my bra clasp, getting further with every touch -
Boy, a woman's body is never yours,
Till you've truly touched her soul.

You can be either my hearth or a hotel room,
You do not learn the vagaries of my mind with distance,
You do not learn a person in space and in this space,
But if I might lose by being near, I'd rather be far.

I've tasted cities different from yours,
I'm sure, so have you, from mine,
Our ideas of love are so different,
Even when our bodies intertwine.
