[Verse 1] I met you in the orchard By the root that ate the stone You wore a face from another year And I wore skin like borrowed bone You said, “You again?” Like we were neighbors in the plague I said, “Baby, I’m the bad idea That never learned to stay” [Pre-Chorus] We crossed that line So many times The gate gave up The priest resigned [Chorus] We keep coming back We keep coming back Your name in my mouth Like ash under nails We keep coming back We keep coming back Love is a grave And we dig in pairs (dig in pairs) [Verse 2] In one life you were a widow In one I was the knife In one we hid in amber jars And called it “happy life” The saints all rolled their eyes at us The hounds knew our scent Even death said, “You two again? I’m charging rent” [Pre-Chorus] You wore my doom I wore your charm Two cursed hearts One lucky harm [Chorus] We keep coming back We keep coming back Your name in my mouth Like ash under nails We keep coming back We keep coming back Love is a grave And we dig in pairs (dig in pairs) [Bridge] They burned our letters And our wedding lace But smoke remembers How to kiss a face If heaven’s a door We’re the lock and key If hell’s a home Put the table for three (me, you, and the corpse) [Final Chorus] We keep coming back We keep coming back Your name in my mouth Like ash under nails We keep coming back We keep coming back Love is a grave And we dig in pairs We keep coming back We keep coming back Till the world runs out And still finds us there (finds us there)
