the most lyrically beautiful song i've ever heard.

poison & wine | the civil wars
 
 
you only know what i want you to
i know everything you don't want me to
your mouth is poison, your mouth is wine
you think your dreams are the same as mine



oh i don't love you but i always will
oh i don't love you but i always will
oh i don't love you but i always will
i always will

i wish you'd hold me when i turn my back
the less i give the more i get back
oh your hands can heal, your hands can bruise
i don't have a choice but i still choose you
oh i don't love you but i always will
Oh i don't love you but i always will

i always will
i always will
i always will
 
this song just does something to me. the civil wars are so incredibly talented from lyrics to the harmony of their voices. the lyrics on paper are amazing, but if you listen to the song, it comes alive. my ipod shuffled to this last night & i listened to it three times in a row.

i love how there is no gray in this song. love is not a gray area. it's black or white.

your mouth is poison, your mouth is wine. i don't love you, but i always will.

and my personal favorite line - i don't have a choice, but i still choose you.

this song just digs down deep into me. it's so contradictingly perfect. and i know contradictingly isn't a word, but if you have something better to describe it - have at it.
 
have you heard this song? if not, give it a spin. trust me on this.
