tasting honey, taste the bee

scaling back attention

like disapproving love

slowly demonstrated in a slip

when cheek touches cheek

but heart is far from heart

this is not the way we say goodbye 

returning warmth for warmth

a dangerous curl of tongue

a dangerous embrace

while jesus gives the thumb

my god

will i release you?

regarding love like it was fame

advertising time and chance to blame

will i release you?

can i release you?

or will nostalgia light the chorus in its key

strike the place where we descend

tasting honey, taste the bee

with grace too expensive to pay

a dive bar couldn't put us in our place

but,

in our final hour and second hand smoke

the longing of two vicious lips diverge

can i release you?

please let me release you

give me a reason

just one to let you go
