Pink Bullets Lyrics - Chutes Too Narrow - The Shins

I was just bony hands as cold as a winter pole 

You held a warm stone out new flowing blood to hold 

Oh what a contrast you were 

To the brutes in the halls 

My timid young fingers held a decent animal. 

Over the ramparts you tossed 

The scent of your skin and some foreign flowers 

Tied to a brick 

Sweet as a song 

The years have been short but the days were long.

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Cool of a temperate breeze from dark skies to wet grass 

We fell in a field it seems now a thousand summers passed 

When our kite lines first crossed 

We tied them into knots 

And to finally fly apart 

We had to cut them off. 

Since then it's been a book you read in reverse 

So you understand less as the pages turn 

Or a movie so crass 

And awkardly cast 

That even I could be the star. 

I don't look back as much as a rule 

And all this way before murder was cool 

But your memory is here and I'd like it to stay 

Warm light on a winter day.

Over the ramparts you tossed 

The scent of your skin and some foreign flowers 

Tied to a brick 

Sweet as a song 

The years have been short but the days go slowly by 

Two loose kites falling from the sky 

Drawn to the ground and an end to flight.
