Salt Then Sour Then Sweet (feat. Brandi Carlile)

Give me the light years

But I want the dark ones too

Grief is the singer in my band

She's a passenger van

And a shortcut straight to the truth

Learn from the nightshades

They grow in the darkest places

Had we not been stung so many times

Would we ever have arrived

At this heaven on Earth that I don't wanna waste

Pick a lucky penny up

And I'll marry you for your money, love

So keep the Novocain out of my wisdom teeth, wanna feel it all

Salt, then sour, then sweet

Wanna kiss you and write love's name on my crumbling walls

Lay them at your feet

With the rest of me

Salt, then sour, then sweet

Come to the porch, love

Look up at the perfect sky

Holding the sun and the moon and the thunder in June

While it teaches the birds and the rain how to fly

I don't need perfect

No, I just wanna touch the truth

I wanna cherish the trying and the living and dying

And make big mistakes the way kind people do

Pick a lucky penny up

And I'll marry you for your money, love

So keep the Novocain out of my wisdom teeth, wanna feel it all

Salt, then sour, then sweet

Wanna kiss you and write love's name on my crumbling walls

Lay them at your feet

With the rest of me

Nothing more I need (Nothing more I need)

Life is love I bleed (Life is)

Salt, then sour, then sweet

So sweet (So sweet)

So sweet

Life is love, oh

So sweet (So sweet)

So sweet
