thomas o. - she's the death you chose lyrics

(verse 1)
she’s got that july heat behind a cold, blue stare
with a white hibiscus tucked into her hair
i heard her humming down on sunset and vine
a melody that felt like a slow+burning wine
she looks like a dream but she feels like the end
the kind of broken heart that you don’t want to mend
she’s a watercolor painting left out in the rain
a beautiful version of a permanent pain

(chorus)
and she’s the death you choose, the one you want to hold
in the canyon twilight, turning grey to gold
she sounds like margaret on a rainy afternoon
a soft “i love you” that’s ending too soon
yeah, she’s the exit ramp, the final velvet light
the kind of ghost you want to kiss goodnight

(verse 2)
she’s got a record playing, scratchy and low
the kind of song that says it’s time to go
“when you know, you know,” she whispers in my ear
and suddenly the finish line is all i want to hear
she’s the spark in the dark of a hollywood hill
the sudden silence when the engine goes still
not a tragedy, baby, just a long, slow sigh
the prettiest way for a spirit to die
(bridge)
is it the way she says your name?
like a prayer or a piece of the blame?
she’s the queen of the sequins and the deep, dark sea
the only kind of danger that could ever set me free

(outro)
she sounds like margaret…
(when you know, you know)
