Salty Eyes Lyrics - Singles - The Matches

Do you belong to a song? 

Does it drag you along by the tongue at the top of your lungs? 

Are you drunk? 

Have you been drinking? 

Do you below the overpass go with a fifth in your fist 

reminiscing the kiss of a love that just didn't love as much as you did? 

Please don't give up, dear walls 

don't let the ceiling fall 

when you belong to a song, salty eyes, 

You belong. 

Shrill notes begin, the grim violin 

then from the silence a violence of sirens orchestrate the score 

to which one more corpse is left quiet 

How we become the hollows of drums 

the rests between notes, the hollers that never reach throats 

"friends" in quotes, they're not calling 

Please don't give up, dear you 

I'm but the sliver moon sliding through 

when you belong to a song, salty eyes, 

You belong. 

Do please believe, however naive 

let it drag you along by the tongue at the top of your lungs 

and belong, salty eyes 

When you belong to a song, salty eyes, 

You belong.
