This Could Be Love Lyrics by Afi

This Could Be Love

I've got a book of matches
i've got a can of kerosene
i've got some bright ideas involving you and me
i dont blame you for walking away
i'd do the same if i saw me
i shat the bed and laid there in it
thinking of you wide awake for days

and i found you tongue tied
in my twisted little brain
you couldn't crack a smile
i didn't catch your name
i don't blame you for walking away
i'd do the same if i saw me
i swear it's not contageous
in four short steps we can erase this

step one: slit my throat
step two: play in my blood
step three: cover me in dirty sheets and run laughing out of the house
step four: stop off at edgebrook creek and rinse those crimson hands
you took me hostage and made your demands
i couldn't meet them so you cut off my fingers
one by one

i'm like a broken record
i've got a needle scratching me
it injects the poison of alcohol i.v.
i don't blame you for walking away
i'd do the same if i saw me
i swear it's not contageous

step one: slit my throat
step two: play in my blood
step three: cover me in dirty sheets and run laughing out of the house
step four: stop at lake michigan and rinse those crimson hands
you took me hostage and made your demands
i couldn't meet them so you cut off my fingers
one by one

this could be love [love for fire]
this could be love [love for fire]
this could be love [love for fire]
this could be love
for fire forevermore

step one: slit my throat
step two: play in my blood
step three: cover me in dirty sheets and run laughing out of the house
step four: stop at berkeley marina and rinse those crimson hands
you took me hostage and made your demands
i couldn't meet them so you cut off my fingers
one by one
