about

Recorded in the back bedroom at Brotown, Chicago IL from Sept 7-12 2008

lyrics

What'll happen to my heart when I fall into your mouth?
I might catch on fire

So your brushfire kisses having set me alight
Are burning through the night sky
Sending up sparks in the shape
Of all the nice things you whispered to me last night

When we fell apart the couch
And we were only our mouths
We were only just arms
We were only just clowning around downtown
Love and laughter aren't different to me

And it's alright, baby take it slow
I hate when you have to go
But I can shiver myself with your thought all day
Fire this bright? It never burns away

What'll happen to my heart when I fall into your mouth?
I might catch on fire

'Cause your eskimo kisses having melted my heart
I thought I'd woken up from a dream that hadn't started yet
Well, can it really get better than that?

I thought "How can I sleep when you're laying along me?
And how can I dream when all your arms are
Already holding on me?"
Your heart and mine aren't different to me

And there were two of everything
'Cause you drank it in so quickly
And I drank you in like that myself
"Well, take it easy," I thought,
"It's not good for your health"
With fire this bright
I might be coming to life

So if my heart feels strange
It's not burning away
I just might have been dead for years

Your kiss has opened my eyes
Now my every sense is on fire

I can hear your heart when you're way across town
I can feel your pulse when I touch the ground
I can see your lips part, burn me down
What'll happen to your heart when you fall into my mouth?
You might catch on fire

I could drown in your mouth and never come up
You're so gold it strikes matches
In the dark of my heart
When you do that stuff
I might catch on fire

I thought you might be mine when you wrote your smile
In your eyes, like a prop plane
Writing my name in the sky, darling
You might catch on fire

And your bottomless kisses having pulled me in
I get so elastic when your eyes flash
I'm feeling pins and needles
Needles and pins

So your brushfire kisses having opened my eyes
The train car clatters like a carnival ride
When you opened your mouth
I might catch on fire
Or else I might be coming to life
