I Need A Sure Thing Lyrics - Dashboard Confessional

You are a razor blade 

You are precision-cut 

You are a stare, sharp as a tack in my eye 

At rest on my veins 

The pulse in my neck 

A sharp edge that questions the time I have left 

...so you are on my mind. 

I need a burning stake 

I need a piercing dart 

I need something as hard as an insult. 

And I need to bleed 

I need to burn 

I need a sure thing 

I need a sure thing

Listen To Taylor Swift's New Song 'Call It What You Want' 

Watch Sam Smith And Fifth Harmony Join James Corden For Carpool Karaoke 

You are a paper bird 

Folded and folded and creased 

And bent and shaped from a five dollar bill 

It's priceless to me 

And never spent 

It hangs from a ceiling fan over my bed 

...so you are on my mind 

I need a burning stake 

I need a piercing dart 

I need something as hard as an insult. 

And I need to bleed 

I need to burn 

I need a sure thing 

And you are a mystery to me 

Photos 

I'll hang my hopes all at once on a rope 

To the possibility that this is happening to someone who's not me 

I'll hold my head 

Keep it still and pretend 

That these spins in the webs 

Are actually desirable 

I need a burning stake 

I need a piercing dart 

I need something as hard as an insult. 

And I need to bleed 

I need to burn 

I need a sure thing 

And you are a mystery to me
