Matthew Ryan:I Can't Steal You

Hold yourself, I'm done, my arms are tired
Saw you walking backwards towards the fires
I'm in love with a red sky, I'm in love with a tragedy
We betray what we can't deny, 'cause I believe she needs me

Caught a flash of absolute perfection
Shattered light fell dark in all directions
Traffic floats like a ballet, far below in the distance
Just as sad as the words we'd say, it's all gone in an instant

It's just so easy it's hard
It's just so easy it's hard
Pull me closer, I can't feel you
You'll have to trust me, I can't steal you

Ashtrays lie like hearts for you to burn in
Smoke curls from your mouth before you turn in
Our love is a black gun, I feel the loss in the mundane
In the hours the minutes run, they're not so subtle but they have their way

It's just so easy it's hard
It's just so easy it's hard
Pull me closer, I can't feel you
You'll have to trust me, I can't steal you
