lyrics

I bled a heart-shaped stain onto the best bed sheets
I wish that was the metaphor that’d be less embarrassing
I scrubbed and scrubbed in the bathroom sink but it wouldn’t wash away
I guess some marks we make upon the world can’t help but stay

I’ve got ink on my hands
I’ve got blood on my tongue
I don’t know if I’ll grow out of it, is this just what it’s like being young?
To leave a stain on everything you touch
To leave a stain on everything you touch

I watched my parents brew coffee in the same pot every weekend as a kid
That thing came to our Sunday service whenever we did
10am would roll around and they’d put the kettle on
The coffee stain love left behind stayed though that church is gone
Yeah the coffee stain love left behind stayed though that church is gone

I’ve got ink on my hands
I’ve got blood on my tongue
I don’t think we grow out of it, it’s not about being young
Love leaves a stain on everything you touch
Yes love leaves a stain on everything you touch
Love, you leave a stain on everything you touch
