Analysis of The Hell of Us
jennybadger 1982
The dark rooms wrap around us
Not knowing that we needed this trust
Until we started building on lonely nights
It shouldn't, but God damn, it feels right
I take you in, you bring me deeper
Into my soul, places I've never seen within
Be my heart's unwavering leader
You free me from this internal prison
They say secrets don't make friends, they keep them
This type of love isn't every day, and they'll condemn
The way we speak, the way we move
No one understands and they won't approve
They say secrets don't make friends, they keep them
This type of love isn't every day, and they'll condemn
The way we speak, the way our hearts move
No one understands and they won't approve
The weed and the whiskey isn't enough to free me
Take me now, hold me down, hold me tight
Touch my body and my mind, make me see
Allowing you to caress my soul the way you do it right
The intoxicating way you speak, the look in your eyes
Taking me from this Hell and all your rules apply
Caress my curves while I kiss your scars
We'll keep going past the farthest stars
They say secrets don't make friends, they keep them
This type of love isn't every day, and they'll condemn
The way we speak, the way we move
No one understands and they won't approve
They say secrets don't make friends, they keep them
This type of love isn't every day, and they'll condemn
The way we speak, the way our hearts move
No one understands and they won't approve
I'm no longer afraid of us and the way we love
Let you heal all my heart's past cuts
Let's go all the way down and rise above the Hell of Us
I'm no longer afraid of us and the way we love
Let you heal all my heart's past cuts
Let's go all the way down and rise above the Hell of Us
They say secrets don't make friends, they keep them
This type of love isn't every day, and they'll condemn
The way we speak, the way we move
No one understands and they won't approve
They say secrets don't make friends, they keep them
This type of love isn't every day, and they'll condemn
The way we speak, the way our hearts move
No one understands and they won't approve
