She floats like a swan
Grace on the water
Lips like sugar
Lips like sugar
Just when you think you've caught her
She glides across the water
She calls for you tonight
To share this moonlight
You'll flow down her river
She'll ask you and you'll give her
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
She knows what she knows
I know what she's thinking
Sugar kisses
Sugar kisses
Just when you think she's yours
She's flown to other shores
To laugh at how you break
And melt into this lake
You'll flow down her river
But you'll never give her
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
She'll be my mirror
Reflect what i am
A loser and a winner
The king of siam
And my siamese twin
Alone on the river
Mirror kisses
Mirror kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses

This song is just sexy as hell. I agree the first verse is great, I love when he sings "just when you think you've caught her...she glides across the water" oh man, I'm a guy but it makes me wanna do him.

Exactly. And though he may not show his power and emotion in this particular song, he goes low, almost like he's whispering certain parts to you so the subject of the song doesn't hear.I mean... damn, hes good.

I was just dating this woman who's six feet tall and much taller than me. I told her she was as beautiful as a swan. Her lips were like sugar. Two weeks ago she invited me over and she made me soup when I wasn't feeling well and smooched around a bit. The next morning I got an email that she didn't a romantic relationship, she'd flown away when I thought she was mine. True for my life.

Ian's love songs are usually about cocaine, God, or infatuation. I'm betting on co*ke.

I'd agree with Wonder Ned- defintely co*ke. 'Mirror kisses' and 'my siamese twin'- seeing your own reflection while doing a line of co*ke.

For the listener, it's a sexy romantic song.
For Ian, it's probably a love letter to himself while on marching powder.

I must say the first verse of this song is genius. And Ian is one of the best vocalists ever, though he doesn't show that as much on this song.Anyway, it seems to be about a special, almost magical girl. She's not really a tease, she just doesn't care if men like her. She knows what they're doing, and pulls away at the last moment before they get close.

Spirit Within Bertoldi Brothers Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards. when rules change Life in Your Way High life Battle Royale Word Alive, The This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone). And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together. Standing On The Edge Of Summer Thursday In regards to the meaning of this song:Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul. Bron-Y-Aur Stomp Led Zeppelin This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.Rate These Lyrics
