The Death of Us
by Theo Katzmanon Modern Johnny Sings: Songs in the Age of Vibe[Verse 1]
If I have one, I might as well have two
If I have two, I might as well have ten
Now, I don't need to count the rest
I think we both know how the story ends
I'm on your front porch
I need a place to sleep
Oh, love's gonna be the death of me
The death of me
Love's gonna be the death of me
(The death of me, yeah)
[Verse 2]
I tried hard to play my cards just right
Beginner's luck usually gets me through the night
But after one kiss, it hits the fan
A flush of bleeding hearts in my hand
I grab a Band-Aid, but what's the rush?
Oh, love's gonna be the death of us
The death of us
Love's gonna be the death of us
(The death of us)
[Bridge]
Here we rest eternal, here we rest in peace, we
Say a little prayer for the love deceased, we
Bury our desire, burning all the lust, till it's
Ash to ashes
Dust to dust
[Verse 2]
Now you will never speak to me again
It's all my fault and I cannot pretend
There was a signpost I did not see
Drivin' the wrong way down
A one way street
And now the car's wrapped
Around a bus
Oh, love's gonna be the death of us
The death of us
[Outro]
Oh, ooh, love's gonna be
The death of us
Ooh, ooh, love's gonna be
The death of us
Ooh, ooh, love's gonna be
The death of us
The death of us
