[Verse 1] You say my name slow Like a blade in fruit Sweet on the front Then it bites right through Cheshire, you grin With that crooked little flame Every time you lean in I forget my own name [Pre-Chorus] Old boots on the porch Doorframe in the wind You trace my skin Then you leave a mark within [Chorus] Cheshire, say it again Cheshire, say it again You know my ruin You know my edge Cheshire, say it again Cheshire, say it again My name tastes better When you’re this close [Verse 2] Dust on the floorboards Moon in the glass You laugh like trouble And I still let it pass Your hands say mercy Your mouth says stay I step right in When you pull that way [Pre-Chorus] Old boots on the porch Doorframe in the wind You trace my skin Then you leave a mark within [Chorus] Cheshire, say it again Cheshire, say it again You know my ruin You know my edge Cheshire, say it again Cheshire, say it again My name tastes better When you’re this close [Bridge] [Half-time] If I’m the fire You’re the match in the dark If I’m the wound You’re the salt in the spark [Chorus] Cheshire, say it again Cheshire, say it again You know my ruin You know my edge Cheshire, say it again Cheshire, say it again My name tastes better When you’re this close
